How do you deal with the ones in my position: quite picky about houses but want to be able to close quickly when the right one comes up?

Build a relationship with the EA's. Convince them you are a serious proceedable buyer. You'll then be first on their notify telephone list.

If the best houses go fast you need to be on the ball. Make the estate agents aware in the area, sign up for alerts. They can then contact you when a suitable house is coming up. Even though you aren’t in a rush other people will be and the best houses will go.
Our house went up Thursday, I booked our viewing straightaway they did viewings all weekend and we had our offer accepted Monday. If I was a day later I’d have probably missed out.
