4 Choose the correct answers. When my brother Martin wanted to buy a house, he took out the mortgage/ contacted an estate agent to help him look for houses. A week later, they lowered his price and waited for the reply from the seller. Before he Sput down a deposit on the house/ contacted an estate agent, which was £7,500, Martin asked a specialist to check if the house was in good condition. It wasn't, so Martin decided not to buy it even when the seller lowered the price / made an offer on the house. Two months later, a young couple in our neighbourhood Sput their house up for sale/ put down a deposit on the house. The price was high, and everyone told Martin not to do it, but he went to the bank, took out a mortgage/ put their house up for sale and bought the house. He's moving there next week!​
