    I remember now, It's being sold for probate. So they might just need to inform everyone before the executor can accept/reject. ...

    I called the EA and asked for an update.

    They are "considering the offer" and waiting to see "what happens over the weekend" we should be told Wednesday. I guess they need to inform the family and let them think about it.

    We are still the highest offer.

    be wary of sounding too eager , you might call back wednesday and mysteriously enough , you need to up your offer to match one made over the weekend by Mr Invisible and his wife
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    Heard back this morning!

    Offer rejected, they want around 5k more.

    Time for us to take the driving seat and leave it a while to have a think.

    Found another property. It's had an offer already but as the vendor told us the offer wasn't "at the figure we have in mind".

    we are going to put on an offer of 5% under the asking price. They have found a property and want this to be a quick sale. As we're FTB it might sway it for us.

    First offer rejected, we have been told what they are looking over, so have gone a little over.
