Buyer's guide

Urgency language

The listing pushes a fast sale — “must go this week”, “first to see will buy”, “moving abroad, need gone”.

Why it matters

Time pressure is designed to stop you vetting or viewing properly. Genuine sellers of sound horses rarely need to rush you.

What to ask

Why the deadline? Can I still arrange a vetting? — and be ready to walk away if you’re pushed.
