How much to offer in a buoyant market

Posts: 197 Forumite
I'm doing viewings today in South London. The market is pretty crazy and there was about 15 viewings on the property I saw this morning and I was early so left exactly on the open house start time, so there could have been even more.
It's on for offers over £150k. I've got no idea where to offer, given that there will be other offers if my other viewings are anything to go by.
Shall I just offer my top amount and be done with it? Shall I offer a little lower and have a bit of flexibility to up my offer if others come in?

Are you very proceedable (eg mortgage/cash in place, nowhere to sell, FTB)? If so then you may find an offer of £150k would be enough.
If someone is more proceedable than you then offer more.....
Is proceedable a word? MSE doesn't think so but this is house buying forum so I am overruling it.0 -
£170k cash, needs to be on the EA's table close of business today.0
