I won’t be wasting anyone’s time without my house on the market, we’ve had notes put through the door twice from people wanting to buy our house, and the agent that sold it to us 3 years ago asked us a year ago if we were planning to sell as she had people wanting it. The local estate agents know what it’s like here so I’m not worried about that part necessarily.... I do agree that the price is deliberately low to generate interest & that’s something I’ve not thought of before. Both our work and families are within 1 mile of this house...

I was in a similar situation to you. Knew my house would sell quickly so started looking at properties without mine being on the market. As soon as the sellers found out, they weren’t at all interested, we weren’t even allowed to view a couple of properties. When you put your bid in, you won’t just have to put your offer, you’ll also have to explain your position. Saying you know your house will sell quickly won’t cut it.

As it was, when I put my house up, it sold the next day. Did cause a lot of stress for me because we couldn’t find anywhere to buy for ages. But once we did we were in the best possible position and managed to get a real bargain on the house we are now in. Our forever home.
