Provide the source then - that's quite simple. Perhaps you made it up
yourself? It certainly doesn't appear to have much merit with or without a
source.

I would go further: it is at best banal and meaningless: at worst,
patronisingly offensive. Why on earth should the seller presume
anything about the buyer's attitude to risk, or his surveyor, or about
the fees his lawyer may be charging? If I were the buyer's solicitor
I'd take great delight in exacting revenge for this sort of nonsense,
and if I were the buyer I'd have serious doubts about the stability of
the seller.
