Ever sold a property privately?

One thing a good estate agent does these days is vet prospective buyers, check they have a mortgage sorted or that they truly are a cash buyer by asking to see their finances.

Otherwise you end up with a million nosey dreamers on your doorstep.

You might end up with nosey dreamers at your door, but remember it's in Scotland, so a different legal process.

if you organise and do the viewings and negotiate price if required, then direct them to your solicitor for legal offer, then their mortgage position is not your problem.

I sold once myself. Stuck a home made sign in the garden overlooking a main road but didn't get anything for a week until I changed the colour to white background with red writing. Got a few lookers but sold quite easily although I am in a desirable village.

As TM said, I just pointed the seller to my solicitor to finalise the legalities.

Use an online estate agent. We've just sold our house (stc) and paid £840 instead of £6,500. They organised everything, we just did the viewings.

I might be interest buying as a BTL. Could you PM me a schedule?

I don't have a schedule. I could get some photos to you and any details you want. I'm in the process of getting a home report done.
