some people like to know the buyer isn't an Air BNB landlord for example
People say this at dinner parties but I suspect those that will actually accept less cash to sell their property to the "right sort of buyer" are few and far between.

Of course, but if your in the same ball park figure and they get on with their neighbours then it can only help.

I'd of thought the same but our mates bought their place (first home) over a cash buyer who was apparently offering more.
That said, anecdotally cash buyers can also be "cash buyers", who end up being a fucking nightmare.

Just offer what you think the property is worth to you, within the current market.
Don't forget to appear credible by adding a sentence to explain your offer, and to appear prepared for the purchase by explaining your position. Obviously FTB is great, but even just to make it apparent that you're purchasing it to live in. Any context is favourable, some people like to know the buyer isn't an Air BNB landlord for example.
