Any tips to find out what the other offers are?

[platerspinner]

I'll start by saying I know the agents can't tell me, vendors have said they'll come back to everyone with a de idiom on Tuesday after the bank hol. We know there are 3 other offers currently and final viewing is taking place tomorrow so possible 4.
Price is offers in excess of £550k, our offer is £575k. On the viewing the agent told us there's one at asking price and one over. Another offer has come in since ours.
My plan was to call the agents tomo to see if I could ask questions like are we in a strong position / would an extra £5k help.
We really don't want to lose the house but also don't want to overpay, such a hard balance to strike. Any tips for how to phrase my questions for maximum info?

I'll update you all today, DH and I both woke up early today and couldn't sleep properly, I'm not usually a nervous person but I have a real knot in my stomach already, I just hope the vendors don't want to discuss all the final offers tonight and we actually get an answer today either way! I keep telling myself if it's meant to be it's meant to be!

Good luck!! Fingers crossed

We upped our offer but lost out to a cash buyer who'd got inheritance who was £10k less than ours

Ah I’m sorry. You couldn’t have done any more. Onwards and upwards

@platerspinner oh no that's a shame! Maybe it will fall through! If you don't find anything else check in with the estate agents again so you can be first on the list if it doesn't proceed.

Sorry to hear this @platerspinner.

We are in a similar position. The whole process just seems absurd to me and largely down to chance/luck. Or perhaps I'm just mega inexperienced as a FTB. What on earth am I supposed to do to secure/maximises my chances of getting my dream home?! So far we have offered the asking price but of course it is now going to best and final - anyone have any tips/advice?
