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.

If you like it put a offer in. You can't buy it if you don't at least try!!mrsmortgage said:The one I viewed yesterday is going for sealed offers, I think that ship has sailed...2 -
I will! But I'm pretty sure we won't be the winning one... The only thing we have in our favour is that we're semi flexible (but that's down to our buyers too).RelievedSheff said:

Well isn't the main issue to have a buyer, which I have? Obviously against a cash buyer I have nothing to offer, apart from the fact that my buyers have said they're happy to wait up to six months.lookstraightahead said:You won't be seen as ready to move, because you're not.
The vendors are actively looking too, and they aren't willing to move to renting.0 -
I don't think I could spread a house move out over such a massive amount of time. By the time your vendors are willing to move (in their own slow time) your buyers mortgage offer will have probably run out.mrsmortgage said:

It's a tough place to be in. I still don't think I'd be offering enough to win that particular house.lookstraightahead said:
