selling a property, not sure what to do next

[black bunny]

I own the bungalow my dad(aged 85) lives in, and I'm in the process of selling it, as he's moving to a retirement apartment in the town I live in, which I 'm buying with the proceeds from the sale of the bungalow. A couple have made an offer of �2,000 below the asking price which the estage agent strongly reccomended I accepted (they have no property to sell, the money's in the bank to buy dad's place) so I accepted. Problem is another couple have viewed today and have said they'd pay asking price. They have still got to sell their property.
I don't want to cause a gazump situation and I'll still keep with the first offer because it should proceed quickly - but what do you think the estate agent will advise? I've never sold a property before so I don't know how it works! Any thoughts anyone?

�2k below asking price is an excellent offer in today's market, especially as there is no chain and no mortgage worries.

By even considering this new offer you are willing to cause 'gazzumping' but I would strongly recommend you go with the first offer.

I'm with Ethel on this - sounds like you have a guaranteed no problem sale, so go with it.

There are too many downsides to considering the second offer, the main on probably being they don't know when the house will be sold OR what they'll get.

thanks very much Ethel and Postdog, for your thoughts.

I have just sold a property for under the asking price as the buyer said he had the cash available. My Solicitor, who is also a friend, recommended that if we did this to agree to the sale but by a certain exchange and completion date as sometimes a cash buyer will still try to stall. If they truly have the cash available they should agree to this.
