What does ‘under offer’ mean?
It means the seller has accepted an offer to purchase but the conditions of that offer have not yet been met by the buyer.
During this time, the seller can accept a better offer, although they will have to give the buyer 72 hours’ notice.
This is known as the 72-hour clause. It is included in the offer to purchase and the seller will usually refuse to remove it.
