Requesting another viewing after offer?

I think if it was so important to show them the house then they should have been there for viewings before you had decided to buy it. You have offered to buy it so I assume it is irrelevent whether they like it or not?

If I was in your situation I wouldn't do it now that the sale is in progress. You are going to get their hopes up if they now get to see it and if the sale all falls apart it might be tough on them.....

However if you are going to view as you are still doubtful on this house then you do definitely need to go again, take the kids etc, to make sure the house is definitely what you want.

Me as the seller, it would be very annoying if my buyers were just wanting to show the kids the house. If this was before you offered then see it as many times as you want, with and without kids. But you have already decided its what you want so just wait til its actually yours.

I am currently selling a flat that is admittedly empty. Buyer offered after open house with 12 other sets of viewers. They are being funded in large part by parents.

They have been again alone and have been with parents, the surveyor has been and they have another appointment to visit next week. We have not yet agreed an exchange date.

I don't have to be there or show them the flat but I am happy they see as much as they want and as often as they wany

My buyers wanted a third viewing - after bringing every family member to the hour-long second one - but my estate agent said they would only let them do this after exchanging of contracts as there's a risk of them pulling out. As others have said leave it until later on, be prepared for the house perhaps being boxed up at the time too.

Thanks again all. The reason we did not take the children the first time is that my 10 year old is extremely anxious about the whole thing as we have rented this house for so long. We didn't want to show them a house until we 'knew' it was going to be the one that we would all be moving into. Again, I have taken on board that I should maybe wait until a little closer to completion for his sake more than anything else in case it did not happen. My children also fully understand that visiting someone's house is not like a visit to a 'theme park' and they purely wish to see where we will finally have as our very own family home and so that they can begin to think about how they will decorate their bedrooms. Sellers have actually said we can move as fast as we want as they will happily move into rented until they find somewhere. So I guess we feel like it will all be plain sailing and we need to face the facts that it may not be at all. We of course do not want to push them to do this and are happy to wait a while for them to find something.
Time will tell huh.
Thanks again for all advice

It is a big thing for children to move from a house they have lived in their whole life. My eldest (8 at the time of the move) was adamant he would remain in the old house even if the rest of us were going to move! Obviously he did move with us and settled in fine, there were no changes of school as we only moved a mile.

I still remember as a teenager being told with less than a week notice that we were moving house and finding it difficult to adjust.

Once you own the house surely you do that?


The sellers are likely to have lot to do themselves...


Just curious?
