Yep, all good advice. We went to town on all of that, including wanting to be nearer to my ageing mum. I have ties to the area having been born not far away, so thought mentioning all of that could help.
Anyway, we've probably massively over bid and they're pissing themselves right now.

some people like to know the buyer isn't an Air BNB landlord for example
People say this at dinner parties but I suspect those that will actually accept less cash to sell their property to the "right sort of buyer" are few and far between.

Just offer what you think the property is worth to you, within the current market.
Don't forget to appear credible by adding a sentence to explain your offer, and to appear prepared for the purchase by explaining your position. Obviously FTB is great, but even just to make it apparent that you're purchasing it to live in. Any context is favourable, some people like to know the buyer isn't an Air BNB landlord for example.
