I need some advice please!
We viewed a house ten weeks ago which we liked but the layout wasn't quite right so we decided to keep on looking as it was the first property we had seen.
Now I'm regretful that we didn't make an offer, the layout is something I could have got used to and now the property is SSTC.
I have spoken to the Estate agents last week that are looking after the property and they say the sale is still progressing. I've asked us to be put on first reserve if the sale falls through.
I'm worried incase we get forgotten about by the estate agents/they might go to someone else if the sale does fall through! Is it acceptable to put a note through the door of the sellers with our contact details saying that if their present sale does fall through to call us as we are interested buyers? We are first time buyers with mortgage all in place so we're in a good position.
I want to make it clear that I'm not interested in putting a higher offer than the people buying the house, I'm just aware that sales do fall through for various reasons and we would like to be the first to know so we can put an offer in immediately. My DH thinks not as we would obviously not be able to negotiate on price as we are clearly interested in that particular property IYKWIM! Or they might re-market if sale falls though and put a higher price on it!
