Been looking for a new house for a while without much success. 3 bed family homes don't come on the market often at the moment. We found one we loved at the beginning of the year and, although it wasn't perfect, it had great potential. Although we were the highest bidders (Scotland), we lost out to a cash buyer ☹️

Viewed another a few weeks later that fit the bill, however, the sellers accepted a 24hr offer before we got the chance to put one in!

Last week we went to view one a bit further away and REALLY liked it. Only problem is, so do loads of other people. It had tonnes of viewings and went to closing within a week of being on the market. The closing date is tomorrow and there are 13 notes of interest 🤯

Our solicitor advised us to offer a significant sum over the home report value if we wanted to be in with a chance so that's what we've done. Closing is 12noon so we should find out not long after whether or not we've been successful 🫣

Wish me luck 🤞🏼

The markets crazy. I'm in the west of Scotland and houses where I live are going for up to 30% over the asking price. Mad

Thanks all! We are gutted and will allow ourselves tonight feel sorry for ourselves before re-evaluating our wants/needs.

Hopefully, as a couple of PP have said, the sale falls through and we get a call but I'm not holding my breath.

@CormoranStrike we are in Edinburgh but the property we went for is just outside in East Lothian. We really want to stay in the area we're currently in but can't afford the size of property we need here.
