I have just put down an offer at asking price, which has been accepted by the vendor. I moved really quickly and the same day it came on, I managed to get a viewing and it was verbally accepted. I have just been to visit the property again with a local builder (it needs a lot of work done) and was a very surprised that LOTS of cars were driving by and eyeing up the property (its a cul de sac so it wasnt me imagining things!). The price was really low for the area and the house needs a lot of work done. The estate agent also mentioned that they have had lots of calls since offering over the asking price. I am now slightly paranoid that the EA may advise the vendor of this and Ill get gazumped. How can I try and avoid this ? I am a cash buyer with no chain. Can I offer an initial deposit to the vendor to seal the deal ? Does anyone have any experience ?
