hey all,
we have viewed a house that we really want, which is great. Thasking price is 335k but when we asked the EA what the highest bid was he said there has been one in for 336k and then another one for 337. We are in the process of seeking mortage approval but have yet to contact a broker and are in the rocess of apointing a solicitor to take care of things for us. We have already met with AIB and they said given our ifo we'd be eligible to get up to 350K and possible more. WE were moreso looking for the same amount but at a 100% mortage.Does this approval "in priciple' give us any leway for putting in a bid?
Regarding the bid should we bid 338k to let the ea know we are interested or should we bid alot higher to ensure we get the property, but run the risk of overbidding????
we really want this property and can affor to go up to about 355k......
PLEASE give any advice you all can as we have a feeling we might miss out on it.
thanks as always
