Highest offer or cash buyer when choosing between final offers?

[kerstina]

Our house had only been on the market a week and it has gone to final offers as four people wanted to buy it . Any advice on whether it is best to go for the highest bidder or the cash buyer. What are the pitfalls either way? Would prefer it to go as smoothly and stress free as possible so would that be the cash buyer even though it is much less than highest bidder but still over asking price.

Me too. I don't trust them. Or they get in quick by saying they're cash buyers and then try to drop the price at the last minute. I'd go with the best offer.

You right it is a case of seller beware. I wouldn't just trust what they tell your agent. You need to ask for proof of funds before accepting an offer from a cash buyer. If they are genuine they will be willing at least to prove to their/your solicitor if not directly to your agent.
