Put our house up for sale just before Xmas, lots of viewings and a few offers too low below asking. We accepted an offer just below the asking about a week and a half ago on the proviso we took it off the market.
They have a cash / first-time buyer waiting on theirs but we hadn't seen anything we liked in the areas we were after.
Widened our search a bit and made a really cheeky offer on somewhere last week and was immediately, but politely, rejected as expected.
One came up round the corner from it on Thursday, wife viewed if Friday, we all went round this morning shown round by the vendor - few questions and looked at the work we would have to do it, made an offer just under the asking and agreed they would take it off the market if we gave them a small deposit. Going to formalise it all tomorrow as they need to confirm a few things this way as well but fingers crossed.
All going well there will be a sizeable work log coming as it needs (or should I say we want to) put on two extensions, loft conversion, ground floor reconfiguration and full refurb throughout - definitely "a project" lol
