Based on previous experience selling other properties, we ask for your understanding that, BEFORE VIEWING our private area and answering detailed questions, we expect prospective buyers to provide written proof from their respective bank confirming the FINANCING APPROVAL for the advertised purchase price. The reason is to keep away people who, lacking other leisure activities, would like to view a property at the weekend for their amusement and our annoyance.
