    The bank has a duty (to the debtor) to sell for the best price they can get, and to demonstrate that they have sought to do that they will want the house to go to market , and probably to be offered for auction. You can approach the bank if you wish, but unless you make a stunningly good offer which their agent advises them (in writing) is certainly better than anything they might hope to get at auction or after open marketing, they are very unlikely to accept.

    As per the above- you'd have to beat the next best offer on the property- and be in a position to buy (mortgage cleared etc). Obviously you're not in a chain- which is a plus- however, next step- you'd need to ensure you have clean title to the property- which is very often the sticking point in receivership sales, issues with the titles.........

    I would have my solicitor make a formal offer to the receiver- and see what happens in your case.
