This was last Thursday, this guys bids $30,000 higher than anyone else, he has since jumped on a plane to China and has emailed to say "funds will be coming through shortly" (from a swiss bank!)
This all seems very odd to me, anyone else been through this, you are legally supposed the pay the deposit straight away right?
I was the second highest bidder so the vendors have offered (via the estate agent) to cancel the original agreement (having been messed around), as long as I pay the same price..........
........ but whose to say this 'dodgy bidders' money will ever come through?
It's more than I really want to pay, however, it is a nice property so, do I jump in and grab it, just in case the money does come through?
or
wait and see, thus being in a better position with the vendors.........?
