When I was viewing houses this was the answer to every question I asked. What council tax bracket is this house in? I don't know. What type of boiler does it have and where is it situated? I don't know. Is the garden shared access with next door? I don't know. One told us they didn't have any viewings available and then called back later asking where we were as they have been waiting for us for ages. We only lived 5 mins away and set off straight away to find they had already gone. The best one was the guy who didn't pretend and just unlocked the door and went for a smoke while you looked around yourself. Turns out he's the friend of a friend and when I bumped into him at a funeral he warned me off buying anything on that estate at all.
