Is there any point in viewing a house before mine is ion the market?

A house in a street I would love to live on has come up, but not only is my house not in the market, it's also in need of quite a lot of work.

Is there any point in thinking about this? Or is the market still crazy at the moment. It was listed a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering about ringing the estate agent that's selling the other house and seeing if they might have anyone on their books who would be interested in mine.

This is in zone 3 London - an area popular with families for context.

There is no harm in asking. The vendor might take the line that even if you are not proceedable, the extra interest may generate higher offers from those who are.

It isn't about whether there's any point for you to view it - it's about whether there's any point for the sellers/estate agents to waste their time letting you view it. It takes me about 3 hours to clean my house for a viewing, then I have to organise myself and dc out of the house - I will only do it if the buyer is in a position to proceed.

My thoughts exactly! I have absolutely no time for speculators or those just being nosy. I have instructed our EA to only allow viewers who are able to proceed.
