House staying on market?

Some estate agents annoyingly don’t update their marketing at all. My purchase took 5 months and in all that time it was never updated to under offer or SSTC, it worried me a little bit but I just carried on with the process keeping my fingers crossed that I will not be gazumped. No harm in asking though.
