Probate sale - Offer accepted but house still being marketed

I have just had my offer accepted on a house I really like. We ended up paying more than we wanted, but London is crazy at the moment.
The problem is the vendors (a company that owns the house because of a probate sale) are insisting the agents continue to market the house up until the day of exchange.
I am worried that we will be paying for survey, bank valuation, searches etc but if a higher offer comes in we will have to pull out because we are already at our maximum limit.
Is there anything we can do to reduce the risk (and cost)?
