..for a call from the estate agent to see if our offer has been accepted and I’m all of a tizz.
We’re up against 3 other, unknown, offers and are in a worse situation as ours has only gone on the market today. The others have either sold or don’t have property to sell.

Tell me your stories of success against the odds please 🙂

Not a chance your offer will be accepted, if the estate agent is actually telling the truth and there are other bidders. You will however have better chances once you have a sale agreed on your property.

I had an offer on a house accepted even there were 3 others after it and one had put in a higher offer. Their houses had only just gone on the market though, so I was in a better position to complete promptly. Luckily that made all the difference.
