Last but not least, there are those (generally women), who seek out properties with a vengeance.
It has taken over their lives in a way that a career never would. Their property bible (this supplement) is delivered by 7am every Thursday morning and they have analysed every word by midday. They view everything and spend hours driving around looking for the best house, on the best side of the best road, in the best area.
When viewing, they go to endless lengths to list as many complaints as possible (however trivial), in order to have plenty of ammunition to fire at the estate agent if required. They are delighted with the recent market slow down, as it gives them lots of time to negotiate a rock bottom price.
When they at last succeed in having their bid accepted, they express sudden disinterest in the property and move on to capture their next prey.
They invariably make sarcastic remarks about the interior design and the vendor’s lifestyle - at the top of their voices.
For these women, there is no fun in actually buying, but great fun in bargaining.>>>>

I can’t figure the last category of buyer, but maybe Liz O’Kane could learn from them.
