We have recently gone sale agreed (as buyers) on a property at price considerably above the original asking price. It is a normal private treaty sale with the vendors estate agent negotiating the price with us.
Since we agreed the price we have noticed that the amount has been published in several national newspapers. How is it acceptable for the estate agent to disclose the price agreed between two parties in a private treaty sale without the parties permission? Surely "private" should mean exactly that?
