House on the market. Opinions?

A very quick update. We've got an offer on the house one hour ago. They are offering £47k, but they haven't even been to see the house yet (they are booked for a viewing on Thursday, and we have a second viewing booked for one hour before them).

I'm thinking of holding the offer until after viewings, as the other people might be interested as well. Also, I think they are in a bit of a rush, and that we can try to bring the price up to much closer to the asking price.

Any thought on this?

That's a bit weird.
They might change their mind after viewing, I don't think I would take the offer seriously at this stage. Accept it if you want to but don't cancel any other viewings.

I think that is a good offer especially considering your timescale.

More like this 2bed + upto 60k 1/2mile inc SSTC

11/2 for sale/SSTC

VERY low sell through ratio.

60k and over 2bed only 18/3


narrowing to 1/4 miles upto 60k 7/2 and 8/3 £60k+

In the upto £60k category we have 2 3beds(1/4m) 4(1/2mile)

this is the sold market in the last 12month

Without looking at detailed(no floorplan makes it hard) comparisons it could be about right but waiting for a buyer.

A developer/landlord may be interested but any hint of being in a hurry an they can squeeze you nuts aiming for over 10% gross yield.
there is a £50k 2 bed for sale with tenant in situ and 8% yield just round the corner.
