Accept offer or cancel viewings?

Unfortunately you prefixed your posting "That's a bit daft". I am pleased to see you then continuing with " looks like". Obviously you realise you are making comments without knowing the facts.

To give you a few further facts.
The property had been on the market for two months and in that time 12 people had viewed and no offers rec'd. On the morning in question I negotiated a sale price within 1% of the asking price with a buyer who had viewed a couple of days previously; he'd hardly rushed to buy.

During the course of that day I receive a further offer £15k above the property value, as advised by 3 independant EAs. Now this second offer was only made at such a price because I'd already accepted the other offer. Whether a sale at this inflated price would have actually reached completion is a matter for debate; I seriously have my doubts. I'm sure at some point they would have been wanting to renegotiate the price.

However I have retained my integrity and I believe the potential purchasers I have selected will make excellent neighbours for us. We are currently completing 2 houses in the same lane for ourselves and daughter.

We'll just hope matters proceed to completion - if not we'll re-contact the other buyer and if that doesn't work - start again; perhaps we'll put the price up - it seems it's still a rising market :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

One can only work from the facts given. And I'm happy to stand by my opinion. From a negotiations point of view you accepted too fast and compromised your position.

If you then wish to introduce further information about liking the buyer and living nearby then that clearly changes the situation. This makes it specific to you and this sale, rather than a situation upon which general sales negotiaion advice should be based.

I would expect nothing less of a lesser experienced negotiator :rotfl: :rotfl::rotfl:

Your comments are the facts which speak for themselves :whistle:

I wish it wasn't raining then I could be out doing some ' fluff chucking'.

Go on, you can have the last word, bye bye :rotfl:

This is getting tiresome.

You offered negotiation advice to the OP, I disagreed with you.

You then revealed it was based on a very specific situation and therefore not good general advice. :rolleyes:




To the OP, congrats on getting the result you wanted without needing to compromise on the further viewings.
