Hi All,
I've been looking for a property in an area I know well, having lived within 2 suburbs radius for the past 30 years. A property that meets all my requirements has come up - great. However, I know the vendors, the vendors know me and we have a history that is less than amicable. The history between us is to the point that if it was known that an offer had come from me, there is a high probability that it would be refused point blank.
I have visited the house prior to myself and the vendors having the falling out, so I am happy to proceed without inspecting it myself (my partner however will inspect it - thankfully she and I don't share a surname yet and she and the vendors haven't met so the link wouldn't be made between her and myself).
What is the best way to proceed with an offer so that my name doesn't appear anywhere until it's a signed deal?
