Viewed a house a few days ago and decided to put in an offer. Been on the market since Jan.
The people who viewed directly after us pipped us at the post and got an offer in first.
We went £5k higher.
The other party matched it.
Agent said vendor didn't want bidding to go higher and would make a decision based on who they thought was in a better position to proceed and be the least likely to flake out later.
We provided proof of deposit and mortgage AIP, as requested, on Tuesday afternoon.
The other party dragged their heels a bit and still hadn't provided the info by yesterday afternoon.
Just had a voicemail from the agent apologising for the delay in the decision making.
Apparently a third set of people have now viewed, since our offers were submitted, and they have also put in a matching offer.
Decision pending from vendor.
Feeling a bit miffed right now. From the chat in the thread I guess I just need to get used to it...
