Need some help and advice.
Got a mortgage sorted the other day and have been viewing houses recently. Saw a house today which already had an offer on which was close to asking and one which the owners were seriously considering. However, we loved the house and decided to make an offer at asking price seeing as we really want it and how we didnt know what the other people had offered. We told the owner, who showed us around, that we'd be making an offer and she seemed happy about it and started talking how she could help us as well (being first time buyers) because she's moving to Australia so cant take a lot of electic stuff with her and would love to sell to us if we can come to an arrangement.
However, after leaving I rang the estate agents and made the offer but unfortunately they were closing in 5mins so the agent told me they'd try and close the deal that night before they go home, otherwise I'd hear off them Monday morning with the answer and the agent said they'd be suprised if the asking price offer wasnt accepted.
I'm just wondering, what chances do you think we've got off sealing the deal? If we've offered asking is it pretty much a done deal that the house will be ours as long as the offers accepted????
