We’ve viewed a bunch of houses that unfortunately weren’t for us. A house came on the market Friday evening, it’s a semi cottage on a quiet country Lane, there’s a massive garden to the side and rear and it’s so lovely, a lot of internal work to be done and gardens massively overgrown, but it’s perfect for us and the kids. We viewed it yesterday and fell in love with it and put in an offer.
Estate agent told us it’s had 3 offers already at asking and above, so it went to best and final today. We’ve put in quite a high offer in the hopes to secure it... in her words “ooo are you sure?” Was her response, so I’m thinking there’s already an offer higher than ours. EA told us the other 3 offers were from builders and a Hong Kong investor. We have no chain, healthy deposit and aip in place, but I feel it won’t be enough to contend with an investor or builders esp if they’re cash buyers. How long did it take to find out if you were successful or not?
Ps I hate buying houses- stress!
