Not sure... :/
3 bed house in the same street went on the market on the 10th and is sold stc. The asking for that one was 5k less than the one we're looking at and it was in worse condition.
Another one in that street was put on the market in January and is also sold stc though that was a 4 bed and sold for a bit more.
The one we're looking at went on Rightmove on the 13th. It's a Victorian 3 bed in Devon for about 100k less than what I'd expect to be paying in Brighton. It's about 30k less than what I'd been looking at in the same area so I think it's priced to sell. I just happened to expand the upper/lower brackets on Rightmove and saw it by chance. It looks to be in very good nick and it's also decorated exactly to our tastes.
Toying with getting a train down tomorrow just to vet it before enduring a very long drive with a 1 year old on Friday... But 250 quid last minute train tickets aren't winning me over.

CYOA
We haven't expressed excessive keenness and are wanting, vaguely, to play it cool and not come across as 'the idiots relocating from Brighton with cash'. Happy to pay over asking for it but not silly money which I would worry the agent would push for if I said tomorrow "Will offer asking if you take it off the market now" etc.
Difficult to judge how sensible the agent is from a couple of calls :/
