How best to approach this

Hello

We have seen a house we really love. We've been looking at properties for years andthis is the first realistic proposition we have found.

It went on the market on Tuesday, we viewed it on Wednesday. We're doing a second viewing tomorrow (Friday)

It?s likely we will want to make an offer

Assuming there will be more viewings over the weekend (people off work etc) is it better to get the offer in before the weekend? But then the estate agent will tell other viewers that there has been an offer, and this might make others put in a higher offer sooner to be proper competition iyswim

Would it be better to wait until Monday to put in an offer, while other viewers are still mulling it over and arranging a second viewing?

Or is it all irrelevant and we should just get in there?

As a bit of background - it's a desirable area, demand outstrips supply, family homes with the attributes this one has are rare, and it is reasonably priced (v unusual for around here)
It is on at £210k. We would love to get it for £200k, but realise with all of the above and the fact that it's not been on the market long we might be pushing it

Thanks for any advice you can give, it's all very scary

Hurrah! I do love the we were walking past the Estate Agents bit Grin

Now I expect that we will be kept informed as to how the survey progresses, the tussle about fixtures and fittings, the frank exchanges that will proceed agreeing exchange and completion dates and all the lovely fun elements that go with buying a house?

Wine Wine Wine....hell it's the weekend Wine

Oh I will! I'm going to have 1 million questions. Have already started a list of things to do

Just the one wine for me though I'm pregnant. Last time we moved house (rented so nit so stressful) at 8 months, Ds was born 8 days later, 2 weeks early

Really hoping we can get it all sorted smoothly and quickly
