Some agents were more than happy to show us a few places (though most of them had been on a while), but equally there were some that were not interested until our was on. One even wanted us to show a decision in principle, deposit, and flat on the market before allowing us to view anything.
Yeah, it does seem to depend a lot on how much interest there is in the place you want to view. Which I guess is pretty understandable - EAs want turnover.
Apparently there are already 4 offers on the place we wanted to look at.
I'm leaning towards the conclusion that it's too much hassle to move.
We've just a somewhat similar experience.
