Would you offer on a house that you haven't viewed?

We've found the perfect house (on paper)

We've been looking since August, though have only had our mortgage agreed last week so have not been in a position to do more than look. However it's apparent there's very little that meets all our wishes and we will have to make some compromises.

A property has just come up which ticks more of the boxes than most and looks perfect. However the vendors have been unwell and viewing has been pushed back until mid January. We have to leave our rental property by Easter so don't really have the luxury of hanging on another couple of weeks.

I've bought cars without viewing but a house is something else. Part of me says it would be utter madness, the other part thinks what could realistically go wrong?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated before we make a possibly expensive mistake

I dunno. If i’d driven past to get a good feeling of the immediate area and got a 360 degree virtual viewing like some agents provide, I wouldn’t discount it entirely

I know someone who bought a property remotely from Australia but sent a trusted friend round to view

I once bought dream property because previous viewer who fell in love with it had to wait for wife who was out of country and forbade him from offering. Thank god !!! Grin
