it may also make the vendor hostile towards you. Whilst really just a business transaction, there is a lot of 'feeling' tied up in residential property deals and people don't like 'silly' (in their view) offers.

This is why I prefer, as so many houses are now languishing on the market seemingly forever, to wait and watch, and not view or offer. Time and experience is much better at potentially softening up sellers than anything I could say to them, and they are less likely to be offended or hostile when the time comes.
