We went and looked at a property in Bayside suburb of Melbourne last night. The property has been on the market for 4 weeks. It is currently tenanted and the tenant is apparently making it very difficult for the agent to show people through - wont allow any inspections on weekends. At the inspection the agent told us that the tenant is interested in purchasing the property - the property has been on the market for 4 weeks and she hasnt made an offer. He also said if we put in an offer he would then tell the tenant that an offer has been made and give her a chance to make an offer. This morning we have put in an offer and the agent will be calling her to tell her an offer has been made (not how much). This seems just wrong to me - we have made the first offer and should be left to negotiate with the vendor - she has had 4 weeks to make an offer and has not done so. This seems unethical - where do I stand here?
