We were allowed to a view a house without being on the market, it was with the agent we were going to put our house on with.
It did however have an offer and 8 other viewings the day we viewed.

From the EA's point of view it was probably good customer relations for us.
For us, I really wanted to love the house, but the style was just a little too small - it was valuable for us to realise early on what definitely won't work for us. For the vendors, it probably made no odds.

I am curious if any local nosey busybodies will come to us for a gander
