Thanks all for the advice and opinions. Really appreciated. We had a conversation with the EA this morning which made us feel much less anxious about things. The vendors are apparently very happy with us taking as buyers (as opposed to Airbnb or cash buyers) and are well aware that depending on mortgage valuation our initial offer might be less. EA seems pretty decent (apart from his terrible shoes) compared to some of the slime balls we’ve dealt with so far so we’re feeling alright. Still, it’s a long way between here and completion. Apparently from 16 viewings there were 10 offers (all over asking), 7 of which were cash
In three months’ time when you are completing the world will be a totally different place… I suspect the economics of Airbnb are a bit harder with £6k energy bills.
