Just had a phonecall from the Estate Agents asking if our prospective buyers can come around and measure up. We agreed a sale with them two weeks ago and the survey has been completed (which we assume is fine) but as yet we haven't exchanged.
I said no - they're more than welcome to come over once we've exchanged and have a coffee with us but not until then. As far as I'm concerned it's their house once we've exchanged! I was just wondering if I'd been a tad harsh. My reason for saying no was: a) they might change their minds if they saw the house again and it didn't live up to their expectations/wasn't as they remembered; and b) if a certain piece of furniture they have didn't fit, they might also change their minds; and c) they might hurry up and push their solicitors for exchange; d) I didn't want the buyers "driving" the sale - I want to be in control. I know the last reason is a bit cr@p. ?
Just wondered what the kleek thought? I'm happy with the decision I made but wasn't sure what the etiquette was in these circumstances.
