Which agent to view through?

We want to view a property which is £15,000 over our maximum amount. It has been on the market with one agent since the summer / early autumn and has recently gone joint agency.
Which agent should I approach for a viewing bearing in mind that we need a good deal if we are to buy it.
We've accepted an offer on our house from a FTB so I think we're in a good buying position.

When in a similar position, we used the agent who had been most helpful to us. It happened to be the new agency - the one that had had the house for months hadn't been very quick about sending us out details, following up etc.
I didn't want the lazy agency to be getting the commission and felt the other would be a bit quicker about making calls to the vendor etc.0 -
Bear in mind both are working for the vendor not you and neither will get any commission unless your offer is accepted - on balance why not go with the most responsive?
They aren't listing it elsewhere are they like online?0
