We just had a baby and thought we would move next year when I return to work. Mainly for more space and better schools. We started viewing houses to get a sense of what's available on budget and in our area. We've now seen a house on budget with more room in the right area. House needs work. I estimate at least 20K worth but it's livable and nice at the minute too. Issues like rotten sash windows, cracked victorian tiles in hall, needs bathroom extension, new kitchen, rewiring etc. The market where I am is really booming. Lots of houses for 180 then 300k but nothing in the middle for families that ticks these boxes. Anyways...
We want to offer on this house and we will but ppl are saying they won't even consider us as we are "non procedable". How can I make the vendor take us seriously?
I've had our estate agent round to measure up for floor plan, had mortgage in principle and instructed a solicitor. We have a decent amount of equity/deposit 40% of her asking. What should we do? I want to tart our house up a bit and get double glazing installed in the back before putting on market so about 3 weeks away. I know our house will sell really fast, assured by neighbors and agent. Thoughts?!

Would you accept an offer from a buyer who's home wasn't on the market yet?
