This happens. I eventually offered forty over asking for my place, just make sure I got it, as I was already pissing £18k a year on rent for my girlfriend and I, and things were dragging on.
Stick in there.

I did the same last year. We bought at pretty much the wrong time. Every flat we viewed was an open house with around 50 viewings over the weekend. Offers in on Monday morning, best and finals eop monday and then you'd know if you'd got it tuesday morning. We offered on 8 places and were outbid on 7. Often by 10s of thousands and often by cash buyers. Our first offer was 5k over asking. We were then consistently 30k over asking and the flat we are in now 45k over asking just to get it done. Things were shooting up by a grand week and it was getting stupid!
Spring is the time when more stock comes on the market so hang in there and something will come up. It's a horrible and stressful process but it's worth being patient.

We didn't get it. Some cunt offered 350.
