    As a first home buyer I was under the impression I am suppose to receive written confirmation signed by the owner that they do not wish to accept my offer. Instead I received an email wanting me to sign saying “ I blah blah hereby exercise my right to not proceed further with the offer for purchase of the property located at bah blah”. Just doesn’t sound correct to me.

    Agents have a fiduciary duty to their vendors, there is nothing in the legislation saying they have to get back to purchasers regarding a rejection of offers. Some ring out of curtesy but they don’t have to.

    There are plenty of fish in the sea, don’t worry just look for another property [biggrin][biggrin]

    They counter offered, I assumed that would have to be on paper. I don’t trust verbal agreements..Oh wellz.[cigar]

    btw it is Perth, not much fish in the sea, thus I’m investigating Brisbane and Melbourne atm.

    Hi Porsha,

    Remember to keep a rational perspective on what you are doing, in essence do not become attached to the property.

    At the moment it is a seller’s market in Perth and vendors hold the upper hand in negotiations (at least with those who are attached to a property and let emotion get in the way).

    Looking elsewhere is not a bad move on your part.

    To be honest, with the amount I will be spending there is NOTHING in Perth i could possibly get emotionally attached to, they are all sh*t holes [biggrin]

    Brisbane looks most logical at this stage..this statement is a bit of a worry but perhaps I could get a bargain unlike here! “According to Home Price Guide the average Brisbane house now takes 15 weeks to sell; almost double the time on the market as twelve months ago. “

    yeah I had an offer turn downed this afternoon, it was verbal and was told if I would like to make a new offer that closing time was later that day.

    I decided not to continue.

    It was in adelaide where theres many opportunities out there.
