Offer on house

We have just had an offer on our house which we have accepted but we are not taking it of the market as the people who have put the offer in have not sold yet.
We have seen a house and put an offer in which was accepted, they have not taken it of the market as we have not sold. Should I contact the estate agent and let them know the situation on our house or is there no point as it is only an offer and we have not sold?

seems fair enough, you want to find a buyer in a position to proceed.baby_bruff wrote: »We have seen a house and put an offer in which was accepted, they have not taken it of the market as we have not sold.

I don't see why contacting the agent would make any difference. Like your potential buyer you are not in any position to proceed and so your offer is, in essence not taken seriously. I think you are being a bit premature in making an offer on a house when you can't proceed to any definitive timescale. The buyer has effectively 'rejected' your offer and put it on the back burner, they are inclined to treat you as a time waster until you can proceed which is what unfortunately I would do in their position.0
