    Well our offer (asking price) has been accepted :j

    This morning I started to get the feeling that there wasn't another bidder after all but we'll never know for sure.

    So we've potentially been screwed a little bit (£200k rather than £195k) but in the grand scheme of things we're still happy.

    Fingers crossed that our purchase goes through a lot easier than what our sale did.

    Well done!

    Now forget about the bidding war (which you won!) if there was one. You offered what the house is worth to you. That is the market value now.
