an offer isn't legally binding is it? just offer what you want you may be in a better position than the others.
We viewed a place that apparently had 20 viewings in a day so was final and best offers only by midday the following Monday. We put an offer in 10k below asking and they replied to say there was an offer at asking price but they didnt like the position of them (presumably chain etc) and said we could have it if we increased our offer to match.
So much for final and best offer! told them if they liked our position so much then just accept our offer..
We had another offer accepted prior anyway so we were only going to go for it if the price was right. Its still on the market and good luck to them but would have pulled out on principle anyway even with our offer, final and best offer is exactly that not being drawn into some bidding war
