Now if you are reading this especially if you are an estate agent you will understand where I am coming from.
One thing I do not understand when showing potential buyers around a house is the obsession to knock on every single wall in the property. It doesn't matter if its a first time buyer, an 'experienced' buyer or parents of the first time buyers, they will all knock on the walls.
When they knock the wall they do that look as if they have found something out once they have knocked it.
Parents are the worst.... They knock, they stamp on the floorboards and they pull the carpet up at the corners. I even had a parent that knocked on the side of the bath to confirm with was plastic!
Wall knocking is the very same thing as going along to buy a new car and kicking the tyre! It uses the same thought process (I don't really know what I'm doing but if I knock the walls it will look like I'm an expert)
I completely understand knocking on a wall that divides 2 rooms to feel if its a solid wall or not but knocking the inside wall going up the stairs isn't really needed is it!
Wall knockers are the most annoying type of viewer, I still smile sweetly and do my job properly however, when I get back to the office I immediately (before I've even made a coffee) put a little note onto their file saying WALL KNOCKER!
