Had my offer accepted and today they've accepted a higher one SO ANGRY what should I do

[Lostlily]

So I found the flat of my dreams and made a good offer over the asking price which was accepted and have it all in writing!
Have started my mortgage application for the property and just had a call from the agent to say the vendor has today accepted a higher offer and can I match it!!!
I am so angry! I made the best offer I could over the asking price to secure it and I am buying it alone after a divorce so it means a lot to me, it's my me start!
I could try and get the extra few thousand from family or somewhere ( I can borrow anymore)! But I am really pissed off with them to be honest
.... Part of me feels like telling them to get lost

OP, I realise that this is gutting, and I have had offers rescinded, and buyers back out at the last minute.

House buying is a roller coaster and tough on your nerves.

But in the end it is a business transaction.

There are some very emotional responses on Unis thread, taking it personally. If you want the flat enough to up the money make a final offer subject to taking it off the market.
It isn’t ‘humiliating’ to call Nationwide, just a change in business transaction. Make sure your offer stands for when you find your next flat.

Good luck

This happened to us few weeks ago, offer accepted and few hours later they binned us for £4K. We could have gone up but I told the estate agent to tell them to go F themselves!!

To be fair the mean girl in me wanted to up £10k wait 2 weeks then withdraw, but I figured karma would get them!
