Give it 6 weeks and the winning bidders will have no mortgage on the overpriced house and you'll get a call asking it you still want it...

Haha, could well be!
I've made a slightly lower offer on another place. We had originally put in an optimistic low ball offer on it because it has been on the market for many months now, just to see if they were desperate to shift it. We went off it for a bit because the seller came back and said they wouldn't accept less than 1% below asking price, which we felt was unreasonable given the lack of other interest.
I think it's a great place, with many positives over the other one we put in an offer for, albeit some negatives as well. The issue is that my wife is still grieving the loss of the other place, and isn't sure she is in love with the place. I've told her that if she isn't in love with it, it's not right for us, but I personally would be gutted if we didn't get this one.
In previous weeks we had gone in with an offer 15% below asking, then 5% below asking. Last night I put in a revised offer 3% below asking, and the estate agent says they're putting pressure on the seller that this is a very good offer that they'd be mad to decline in the current market. Let's see!

Update on the blind final best offers from yesterday... We put in an offer 8% above asking price. I was really confident we'd get it, but we actually didn't!
I feel completely fine about our offer and therefore with not being the winning bidder. My wife is also happy with what we offered, but is a lot more gutted than me to have missed out.
Ah well, on to the next one!
