If they said that we needed a higher deposit to secure the house we would increase it. We're not at the top of the budget so could probably do 20% rather than the 10. We're both pissed at the EA, they're absolutely useless and it's now been nearly 3 weeks since we tried to submit the offer, they didn't give it, then wanted more details on ID/address checking, fucked around being uncontactable, then let a few final viewings happen on Sunday and the vendor went with one of them. They list quite a few houses in the area but we'll be actively avoiding them.
I guess it’s just too much bother. In my experience EA people have practically no work to do for the money. Everything in SE England just sells well, there’s just no point labouring it..
