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.

When we were looking to move a year ago agents & buyers simply won't take you seriously unless your house is at least on the market, and certainly helps if you've got a buyer.0

I thought that by law Estate Agents have to inform the vendors of all offers?mountainofdebt wrote:I phoned the EA, offering the asking price, and she was quite shirty especially when she learnt our house wasn't even on the market and it took a rather iriate husband to get her to even tell the vendors of our offer.Philip0 -

If you have an offer on your house then you are in a position to make an offer on the house you want. Visit the EA with your offer in writing and sit there while they put your offer forward to the seller. They have to put it forward. It's then upto the sellers whether they accept (they can check with their solicitor what their position is).
If your offer is higher you will be gazumping the FTB and they may well decide to raise their offer to match yours or go even higher.
Good luck with what ever you decide.
