Cheers!!! Thanks. Hope this is okay.

Hi, I think I’m going to stop viewing as it’s become very frustrating lately. I have seen two houses recently that I really like, but they are over priced. They both had offers that were not subject to sale and I have a feeling that they will both fall through but this could take two or three months. I’ll just have to wait and see. Anyone else out there experiencing this?

Many Thanks for the advice.

Hi everyone, Have been following this forum for about three months now and this is my first posting. I sold my house in January this year and have been renting ever since. Initially, I planned to rent for six months and buy over the summer. However, what I have come up against recently is people putting in offers who are not subject to sale. I take it this means they can’t sell their own, plan to rent it out and buy. One particular house I looked at about three months ago, had, which I thought, was a very high offer from someone in this position. This has now come back onto the market. (Wasn’t very interested anyway) Another house I also went to see about a month ago was on at £280,000 and there was an offer of £180,000 cash, which wasn’t acceptable – according to the agent. When I went to view the agent told me another offer had come in of £230,000. When I asked what sort of position they (potential buyers) were in, he said they weren’t subject to sale. Went to see another house last week which has only just come onto the market for around £300,000. The next day there was an offer of £200,000 from a first time buyer – a few days later another offer of £250,000 from someone not subject to sale. What are your thoughts on these offers??? As you probably well know agents never check finances, they have never asked to see mine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated??? Another thing I have noticed with one agent in particular, is they have put sale agreed on a property on their own website but not on propertynews – Why would they do this???
