Cannot believe have reached the age of 39 without ever having had to put in a bid for a house, so am a complete novice at this and need help!
We have found 2 houses that we like. Both are, strictly speaking, out of our price range but we are going to attempt to put in cheeky offers as we think we are a good prospect (no chain) and we know that vendors of both houses are keen to move and potentially can both move quickly (we are also maybe unrealistic dreamers!)
So, my questions are, can I put offers in at the same time (both would not need to know about the other) or is that unethical or just plain stupid? Is the first offer always rejected? Do you always go in much lower than the asking price (assuming that it's not a 'hot' property which is immensely popular, and they don't seem to be atm.)? What's the best strategy for getting a 'cheeky' offer accepted? Should we be actively playing them off against each other?
Also, has anyone ever put in an offer after only having seen the house once? (Long story behind that one!)
Any advice gratefully appreciated.
Tia.
