Log burner on or off for winter viewing?

[BunnyWilliams]

We've got a viewing tomorrow (only the 4th since September - praying this means things are picking up). It's really cold here in North Yorks at the moment. We've got a lovely big inglenook with a log burner - shall we light it? The house doesnt need it from a warmth point of view as we've got radiators in the living room but it does make it really welcoming. Normally I keep it off and clean for viewings but as we've still got the Christmas decs up, I thought it might make it cosy?

How come the agents even let them view, did you agree to viewers who haven't even got an offer?
When my son bought earlier this year no agents would accept viewings till they had accepted an offer on their place, fortunately it didn't take long for them to sell, but they couldn't view till that was the case.

It's the way it's working around here at the moment because the market is so painfully slow. When we first put our house on the market we viewed about 6 houses. We stopped looking when we realised ours wasn't going to sell quickly as we have done in the past. That very first house we saw is still our number 1 contender and when we get an offer on ours, we'll be making an immediate offer if it's still available 🤞
