"Few thousand", I would say, translates into "Not a chance unless you offer at least £3,000 more" (as I translate "few" as meaning "3-5" (ie £3,000-£5,000).
A few is 3, I offered more than a few hundred.. we offered £1000 extra. I will wait and see. I can afford to go up a little more however I don't want to keep bidding against myself when they have had no other interest bid wise! The home belongs to a lady that is now in a nursing home, it has no chain and it appears they want a quick sale. We are FTB with no chain so I would like to think we have a chance still.Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher a storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.
