I viewed a property recently and fell in love with it. It needs a total refurb and I’m buying on my own as a woman in her 30s so I really don’t think the agent took me seriously. Anyway, I made a second viewing which has been cancelled as the owners have accepted a below asking price offer. At the time I had a second viewing booked in on my property who was chain free so I explained that to the agent hoping he may advise the vendor to wait a few days to see if I can make an offer. He didn’t ask what my offer would be. When I told him I was disappointed he said I can always make an offer once I am in a position to and I can do this right up to the point of exchange! Which I know is legal but pretty poor practice.
This was two days ago and I had a second viewing on my property yesterday and an offer made. I absolutely love the house and there is nothing else comparable but I really feel uneasy about gazumping so will likely just leave it and hope something else comes up.
Am I mad??
AIBU?
To not gazump the house I love?

Am I being unreasonable?
