PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Do we stall seller or walk away?

Just hurry up and get your house ready. If you want to move this is inevitable anyway, so JFDI.
You're not an attractive buyer and your offer is likely to be declined if yours is not even on the market.
But according to the OP the seller has only been offered significantly under their asking price so far, not as if they are in a position to call the shots is it? Of course the OP needs a buyer and might not get the offers they want, kitchen ready or not, and on it goes I suppose.0 -
When not try doing the fixing and selling in parallel? Put it on right now, get someone in to finalise the work and describe to viewers what will be done. Maybe you'll get lucky or at worst have someone lined up ready when its all set.0

Why not be frank with the agent for the house you like? Perhaps ask them if they would like to handle the sale of your house and invite them to see the state it is in now and take their advice on what to do before marketing it. I am sure that they would be very interested in getting a second commission out of this deal, and so would do all in their power to make things work out.0

*shocked* at people's sarcastic comments about the baby's arrival. Have a heart and assume something happened here which is not fodder for sarcasm, please.0
