see explanation

"I am pleased to present (details of) the following property, which is available for sale"
- a free translation but in the same rather flowery Estate-agentese.
"Freiblebend" could be "subject to confirmation" but IMHO the above suggestion reflects this by the use of "available"
Peer comment(s):

agree TonyTK : You may have a point - your sentence certainly reads well. I'm just not sure how important the "freibleibend" is.

neutral TonyTK : "non-binding" on whom? And why "sale" rather than "purchase"?

It does appear to be a specific offer to a specific person - but with the proviso that it is non-biding - unless the text goes on to mention a specific price then I still suggest "oofers invited" or maybe "open to offers". If a specific price is mentioned maybe "to offer informally" would be the best fit. Thank you Tony TK for your incisive probing !
Peer comment(s):

neutral TonyTK : It's the right idea, but how would you fit it into the sentence? // Well, yes, but it appears to be a specific offer to a specific person relating to a specific property.

"offers invited for the following property" "house for sale-offers invited" etc.

Maybe: "Further to ... I am pleased to offer you, without ...

obligation, the following property for sale."

I'm not sure whether "without obligation" is the correct legal term, but it seems to be fairly common in this context.

"Welcome to LiveBid.co.uk. All of the domain names below are offered for sale without reserve and auctions will end early if a suitable offer is received. Please feel free to enquire or submit an offer without obligation."

What I'm not sure about is whether the "freibleibend" refers to the potential buyer or the seller in this particular case - hence the low CL.
