When we bought our present house, we contacted the estate agents and told them verbally over the phone.
As to the amount - well I guess that is like asking how long a piece of string is. We wanted the house as it was a bargain (a part ex house) so we didn't want to lose it by offering less than the asking price.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Are you paying a realistic price for the property - consider any improvements/modernisation that need doing
2. How much can you realistical afford, and I (personally) wouldn't go as high as that
3. What have other properties of similar condition/similar location sold for
4. How long has it been on the market - a long time might indicate a problem with the house or that its overpriced.2014 Target;
To overpay CC by £1,000.
Overpayment to date : £310
