    Good luck :)

    When our first sale fell through, it went "under offer" again within two weeks of going back on the market (and that was in February - which is definitely quieter than now). Fingers crossed you will get a new offer VERY quickly.

    The next time we get an offer, do we have to stop viewings immediately ?

    As you know QT, we are in the same city but looking at different price ranges. In the lower price range 'SSTC to available' was very common in January/February. It's less common now, though it still happens occasionally.

    What I'm seeing now is that properties that have been up since at least December and haven't reduced since then are going SSTC. In Jan/Feb it were houses that were new to the market or that significantly reduced that went SSTC (and then available and then SSTC again). There seems to be a shortage of decent houses against decent prices that triggers not so desirable houses going SSTC now.
