Should we up our offer on this flat!

Am unashamedly posting here for traffic. Because time is short. My son is trying to buy a flat. We are in Scotland. Here the system is offers over a certain price. At the moment, he is the highest bidder. We only know this because the owner had his inexperienced son show us around the property, and he told us what other offers were in! Presently, there are three offers on the table. The first one is for 165K, the second one is for 167K and my son‘s offer is in at 170 K. Because it has now gone to a closing date the other two people will know that there is a bidding war on. Do we keep our offer as it is or go higher!? I think we should go up to 172K because I can’t imagine that the other bidder at 167K would add more than another 5K on. All thoughts welcome!

Can you afford to? Is it worth it?

I think it depends on what the home report valued it at and how much over the offers are.

Surely the first question is what the flat is worth and how much you can afford?
