PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

You are deciding that the agreed price is not agreed, but flexible.
So if the seller takes his cue from you and accepts it's flexible then it's only fair and reasonable for him to tell you price has gone up.
Works both ways, friend!0 -

Crashy thinks every single property is overpriced. Apparently the smart move is to live in a bedsit, just let the tax paying public pay for your council accommodation.... What an aspiring poster!!!0 -

Making things up about other posters just gives you zero credibility. Sorry
It would be better if you explained how someone is realistically going to raise their price in this environment? 0 -

As someone ready to buy with a good deposit and no chain, I am wary of every house price at the moment. I would laugh my socks off if I reduced my offer and someone tried to increase it at the moment.0 -

Interesting perspective. I mean, fair play if they do, but I don't feel too emotionally invested at this point and would be happy to walk away!
Should find out this week anyway, going to call the agent in a bit to put in our revised bid.0 -
