Selling my mum's house for care home fees.

[Yarisalpaca]

My mum is unable to live in her house anymore so it has to be sold to pay her fees at care home. She is in a very good home and happy there, she has dementia.

The house has been on the market for 3 days for £210,000 and already has 2 offers. The best offer is £204,000 which the estate agent thinks is good.

That offer is subject to us agreeing to remove the house from anymore viewings. Is that normal but I find I feel annoyed at this and I haven't a clue why because the house needs to be sold!

How would anyone else feel about this?

Sorry I meant to say the Estate Agents said its a sellers market (not buyers market) because so few houses are coming on the market

It’s not a sellers’ market where I live, quite the reverse. If anyone here got an offer of 97% of asking price they’d rip the buyer’s arm off.

I'd grab that offer with both hands. My departed GM's flat is still on the market over 2 years after she left for the care home, and 18 months since she died. My parents have been paying empty property council tax this entire time. They've had 3 buyers all of which fell through. It's a buyer's market.
