Offer on a house

gadget88

Agent still pushing viewings tonight so I gave In and asked if there’s any update on offer as I think it’s only fair they give some form of reply?

Still not heard seemingly it can take upto a week according to google. They also like you being on market and sold that said I doubt anybody would pay £25 over I reckon 10k over at best.

Not surprised you're not being taken seriously if your house isn't even on the market.

I have the photos all done ready to go. Every agent locally knows I want that street as I have been trying for 4 years actually. If they have me pre warning I’d be on market sooner sadly not.

Isn't this the 4th house you've looked at on that street? Why not go on the market after the 1st one?

Yes I had to rule out renting as I could rent offer and they still accept someone else offer? The reason is the risk I would have to buy something else maybe a worse location if I can’t secure this area as 1 or 2 houses come up there per year. I decided to go with a very high offer but I don’t think I can go to market otherwise I would probably have to consider another location most likely.

No Estate agent will take your offer seriously and agree a sale with you if your house isn't even on the market and no sale agreed. You have to accept that you are not in a position to proceed, so it doesn't matter how much over the asking price you offer unfortunately.

I intend this as something helpful, though I'm concerned that you will take offence. 

But, please present yourself to Estate Agents as more decisive and focussed than you do on this thread. If EAs are seeing what I'm seeing, then it's possible that as well will lead to them not taking you seriously.

You are not in a proceedable position so no one is going to take your offer seriously.

You need to get your property on the market and under offer.

So let’s be clear I asked the agent for a valuation. I was ignored 

I asked for update on offer ignored 

So I’d have to get on market with somebody else. And no point if they won’t reply? I only require a home report I had the photography done in 2024. 

I also said I wasn’t on market before viewings made it clear I was only viewing if they never wanted a first time buyer. They told me they wanted the highest offers. Last year it was a first time buyer. 

Anyway I did agree a sale last year without being on market plenty secure a house before selling these days. If it’s a fixed price or on market a while the chances are higher. I choose not to go for that one but to say I can’t buy is non sense. They agreed a sale**

Well I had an offer ready accepted last year I decided to wait off as it was that street I was looking at but proves I have not sold but the offer was accepted
