We have had an offer but it needs to be approved by the embassy? Any experience?

We received an offer on our house yesterday. As it was also our DS's birthday DH took very little details apart from the offer amount and said we would consider it over the weekend. The only information I know so far is that the couple who viewed it were viewing on behalf of family members in Hong Kong who wish to move here and that the offer needs to be approved by the embassy. Whether that is the British or Hong Kong embassy I don't know, DH failed to ask any further questions and I'm completely in the dark. I have also heard that the potential buyers would require visa's also so no idea how much this would take either.

Does anyone have any experience of this or know what the process is? We are just wanting to know if the offer is actually procedable or if if we could be waiting months. We are luckily not in a major rush to move but we certainly want to start looking if we can, Thanks for any information.

@Notmulan, It all proceeded with no problems, The buyers sent over proof of funds and were essentially cash buyers. There was no pressure from any side, we decided we didn’t want the pressure of moving just before Christmas so all parties agreed to wait till January and we completed and moved at the end of January.

@Monr0e that’s really encouraging thank you. I hope you’re really enjoying your new home x

Don't get involved with this offer.

More trouble than it's worth.

Wait for a more conventional offer from a UK resident.

I think that ship has sailed as they have successfully sold it to them
