Offer on a house

gadget88

I put an offer in 3 says ago heard nothing back is it normal to take that long?

Depends on the offer, depends on the seller and depends on how many other offers they have and at what price level, they could be away somewhere on holiday even and not engaging with their house sale? Wait a few more days and continue to view other properties is my view. How long has it been on the market?

I think so I offered £25 grand over home report price in Scotland hoping that would sway the deal. Fact they have delayed accepting has gave me doubts about going ahead. Don’t think they will get anything 10k over.

Yes I decided to go max budget I really expected them to accept to be honest. Previous ones sold no more than 10-12 over. The silence on it has put me off to be honest? The agent is still previewing the house on Facebook to get interest. Agent made no effort to value my house despite me asking

I doubt but I’m tempted to walk away as it is top end of my budget. Maybe they want a bidding war but I may have to spend money fixing it to ny own taste so not sure if it’s worth it

For your future self, only do this with conditions eg, "take it off the market immediately". You're £25K over offer is now being used by the EA to try get higher offers for their client.
