Property Advice: Why are properties listed sale agreed?

Many families find that trading up locally can be harder than expected. It’s also common to have questions around how to value an existing home and how pricing terminology works

Property Advice: Why are properties listed sale agreed? — If you come across a home you like that appears to be "sale agreed", don’t lose hope. Ask the agent to register your interest — if anything changes, you could be next in line. File picture: Denis Scannell

Majella Galvin

Hi Majella,

I am living in a three-bedroom semi-detached property in a housing estate on the outskirts of Cork. It has been a great starter home and so convenient for us. However, now that we have two kids, we need more space and are looking for something bigger, ideally a 4/5-bedroom detached house in the same area or as close as possible.
