We put in an offer on a flat on Sunday, the EA told us that another person had offered and our offers "were close". He asked for our "final offer" which I found a bit daft but we added like 2k to our initial offer and sent it back. He called back later and told us that the seller had decided to not accept either offer and was going to continue showing the flat. The EA tried to encourage us to offer more to persuade the seller. We declined because that sounded like nonsense.
He emailed us today and told us our offer had been accepted, but on the phone told us that the seller was keeping the place on the market for another week and they're pushing us to try and get surveys and stuff organised in a real rush.
Is this a common thing? It sounds to me like they've accepted our offer, unless another offer comes along, which is a lot like not accepting an offer?
