Daft question but can you bid for a property you have seen advertised without going to physically view the property? thanks
-
Yes,especially with all what’s happened in the last 16 months or so
-
Yes.
-
Thanks it is just i have seen a property i am interested in via an estate agent but they have said we aren't allowed to make a bid as we have to attend a viewing for which they are fully booked
-
Shouldn't stop you bidding but it may be their way of attempting to filter out non serious bids. One of my mates has been trying to buy recently and houses are going within 2 days of being put up for sale. Crazy times.

We recently tried to view one in Edenthorpe but when we enquired about available times it had been sold within hours to someone that had only seen the pictures on their website.

House price inflation is crazy round here at the moment but then it always has been pricey with so little supply.
I think anyone buying a house without viewing it is daft, pictures are so manipulated by estate agents. My old house looked great on the pictures yet I didn't like it much at all.

We bought at auction without viewing we did physical see it but couldn't attend the viewing days due to distance, 330miles.
Bid on the phone ! No survey!! Had to complete within 28days!!!
Glad we did as would never be able to afford normally! 220yr old listed cottage in a world heritage site.
Put ten years on me and I'm potless, renovating it.
People who said we were crazy admit it's beaut! And Cornwall prices in the last year jeeze!!!!!!

Put my place up for sale last week.
Got 11 viewings booked within the day.
10 of the 11 turned up to view and of them, 8 offered the asking price or above.
One of the couples that viewed told us they offered the asking price within an hour of it being listed but the estate agents wouldn't accept it without a viewing first.
We've now gone back to all those who made offers asking for full and final offers along with proof of funds and their situation (ie cash buyer, no chain, etc).
It really is unprecedented.

Makes me want to cash in and move 1mile inland, I dream of double glazing, damp proof course, proper heating (NT storage on the ground floor only and of course off street parking, (would die for a garage)

Mrs Wolf showed me such a manipulation - as you say they will all do it
A Bungalow in Thorne where the Flats [3 stories high] had been removed from background despite - or maybe because - they are right behind Bungalow

I agree, google earth and street view is your friend here.

Near where I live someone is trying to develop land in holiday home complex with chalets etc, but looking at the plans and the photos on line he’s conveniently airbrushed out an industrial/transport yard and a nice quiet country road otherwise known as the A1

I placed a bid for the property but now they have come back for the final and best offers but won't tell me what the actual highest price that has been submitted at this moment in time, not sure whether that is correct or not. And they want an agreement in principle is that required when making an offer though?
Just seems a bit weird that when they said on the phone i couldn't make a bid without a viewing but when i emailed them they said they would accept my bid.
-
You really need a mortgage agreement in principal before you offer. Otherwise you don't know if you'll get said mortgage. They usually last about 3 months or so. If there's other bidders they'll go above you without it.
Basically on final and best offers you bid what you think is your best offer. It's to prevent a mass overinflation on the property.

When I bought the house I am in now some 20 years ago I knew the seller, the estate agent deliberately "forgot " to mention my offer of the the full asking price to the seller, in favour of another lower offer that required a mortgage etc through them! only when the seller asked about my offer was it was admitted the offer was there Just saying! and yes it was a well known respected Donny estate agent !!!!!!
