My buyer

Be careful. If you have accepted the offer, then subsequently allow another viewing you risk the previous offer being withdrawn. I'm a bullish buyer currently looking and won't be messed around. I saw a house yesterday and put in an offer same day without a second viewing and I am 100% a serious buyer so I wouldn't let that phase you.If my offer is accepted and then I hear there is another viewing agreed after I would widraw offer immediately and move on as I have been gazumped before and any signs of it append again I'll walk away.
Then again it does depend how the offer was accepted. When I offer I say if accepted house is to be withdrawn for market immediately, all subsequent viewings must be cancelled etc. If this doesn't happen I will walk away.0 -

I am exactly the same, and as a seller I would always take the property off of the market if I have agreed an offer. I think it is rude not to.Grab life by the balls before it grabs you by the neck.0 -
We also wouldn't have allowed more viewings once we accepted the offer each time on our house but it wasn't an issue as the EA didn't put further viewings forward from that point of acceptance. Nor would we consider another buyer's offer having accepted one.
But then we told our EA that they must tell people willing to make an offer about the subsidence and underpinning at that point rather than further down the line as the manager wanted (and apparently caused arguments between different staff on that front). This was done on the basis that we'd rather they walk away without making the offer because of that than several weeks down the line when we and they had invested more into it.0 -
The EA stated that the second viewer is in a good position with a large deposit and MIP !!!
How does he know that ? has he/she seen this BUYERS bank account on a letter from a Lender with a mortgage offer of upto £120K mortgage !!
You have only just put the house on the market and had 2 viewings so far.
If the buyer is serious then you will get a call soon with a surveyor asking to do the survey and things will start to happen.
I would allow the other buyers to do a second viewing
The EA qualified the offer, the buyer saw the in branch mortgage advisor.0
