I was wondering if anybody who is familiar with the bidding process could give me a bit of advice. I am currently bidding on a house and according to the EA there is one other bidder. The other bidder is very slow a coming back with a counter bid. At the moment we are going up in 1k jumps but the other bidder is taking over a week to respond. I am responding with a higher bid within a couple of days. At this rate the process could go on for weeks, as we are still 7k below the asking price. What is the best way to proceed. Do I continue at this rate or try to force it to a conclusion? I am not convinced the other bidder is genuine.
