Bidding while sale agreed

    We are currently sale agreed on a property for several weeks, we have paid our booking deposit but have received no contracts to date. A house around the corner is now up for sale in better condition with lower levels of bidding. It is being sold by the same estate agent. Is it appropriate to ask can we place a bid on that property?

    Thanks

    As long as you have yet to sign a contract, you can do as you wish, but of course the Auctioneer/vendor will reopen the property you are sale agreed on to new bids. There is also a risk the the auctioneer will inform the vendor of the second property that you have history of pulling out when sale agreed. That may work against you and in the end you lose both.

    Could you get your solicitor to place the bids on your behalf?

    It's a sellers market out there now. It wouldn't be in agents interest either so they would likely inform both sellers. The way the market is right now I think you'd definitely be playing with fire.
