@nova00boss The vendor should have taken the property off the market after accepting an offer. If their buyer fell through, then they should allow more viewings and offers.
In my country, there is no such thing as a "verbal" offer or acceptance. Everything must be signed on paper (or electronically), after which, the house is off the market provided any conditions have been met. And, the selling agent is prohibited by law NOT to disclose the amount of any offer on the table, which works in the seller's favour.
Surprised they can accept an offer on a house and the accepted offer dosent really mean anything. Where I live, if you accept an offer the house is sold. It is legally binding. Just as putting an offer on a house is legally binding.
I admire Phil and Kirsty's endless patience with the endless parade of vacilating people! I know there's no such thing as bad publicity, but honestly I'd be pulling my hair out at day's end.
I could never view a home from a vendor who would go back on their word. Unless it was somehow a part of the acceptance clause or contract, it's despicable and immoral.
One of the Edwardian 12 Apostles on Park Lane. Great homes, quite saught after. Should have made a higher offer when they had the chance. Would have been quids in today.
You know there are too many restrictions and licensure and realty laws in New York/America for that to be scenario to be possible. maybe, a totally verbal offer, without the paperwork (A "for sale by owner"- type deal), perhaps. it wouldn't happen in New York, and you know it.
