I left my offer on the table - today EA said I should push to £300K otherwise the vendor may leave the flat for lettings. I just feel he's pulling the strings, I will stick my guns to £295K and not going anything above it.0

I'd have a serious look a the Wendall Park place - the area and flat look like safer bets to me - although probably not as exciting in the short term.

to do what?...
To get into a bidding war?
presumably the original agent who had the property for sale has had an offer that matches the vendors expectations and has been accepted...if you are going to chase this flat now you will need to offer more and go over the budget you originally set yourself.
Don't let your emotions rule on this one...
