Deceptive & fabricatingi rang to arrange a viewing on a flat i saw advertised on rightmove. The ad stated that it was first uploaded to rightmove June 2024. After I'd clearly stated the address the agent immediately said that is the one which is under offer but yes you can still go to see it. I pointed out that it seemed odd that the flat had been on the market 10months and now is suddenly under offer. He then said he'd made a mistake and was terribly sorry, he'd misheard the address and was referring to another flat. I gave my details and situation and he had a chat with me about my situation.I asked if i could view the flat the next morning, he declined saying his colleague wasn't available/had other viewings elsewhere then so i asked if i could arrange a viewing in a week. He said perhaps.He then started saying once more that the flat was under offer. I pointed out that he had just told me he'd made a mistake and had indicated to me it was another flat but he said this flat was under offer. I commented it seemed odd that the flat had been on the market all that time and was now under offer. He went into a story about how there had been an awkward tenant who had blocked viewings by not being available but now it was empty and an offer had been made. The buyers financial status was currently being checked for authenticity.I feel as if i caught the agent out and he'd been trying to backtrack, he was trying to create a sense of urgency by saying it was under offer. BS if you ask me, he scorned me saying he was trying to help me. How is it helping by pretending a place is under offer, i bet anything this piece of info is dubious, all UK estate agents distort the truth, either by advertising photoshopped pictures or telling you BS about how there has been SO much interest, i'm sure there has!
