Most sensible people don't find a place until they have a firm offer for their property so I wouldn't worry, it's what most people do and they'll probably find somewhere quite quickly any way. If it drags on then it's time to consider lowering your offer and the such but for now don't worry too much about it.

Much appreciated

5K down on 190K, and you're a first time cash buyer? You could probably have easily knocked 10% off the prices as you're a rarity and in a really strong position. But now you've offered, stick there. However, if you are worried about timing, you could maybe say your offer stands for a certain amount of time.

Whatever, keep looking so you understand the market - things can and do go wrong. But I hope not for you.

I agree, I would call up every couple of days to find out what stage they are at aswell if you really like the place.

But if it was me I would renegotiate the offer if it is taking too long.

But keep looking. and always offer 10-15% below the asking, you might get lucky and give them a good reason for offering a low price. "You could that you are not in a chain and complete with 2 weeks etc..."
