Pretty low on the priority list.
Last house I offered on (before the one I bought) was one the market one day, shown to 7 sets of people, every set made an offer by the next day.
The winner came in at £100K over asking price with an all-cash offer.
Next house, we put an offer on within a few days.
Needless to say, decent places are off the market really quickly in Southsea.
The island is small (9mi2) so it doesn't make a difference really from a biking perspective. Also, the Southsea market is really hot right now, so I don't worry about it.
