We've just put an offer to a house that we like. We had anticipated that the vendor would want a higher price and that the negotiation would drag on a little while.
However, to our surprise, the vendor accepted our offer straight away. Suddenly we feel a bit concerned. We had thought our initial offer was a bit low given the house's location (in the suburbs of London).
What would you do if you were in this situation?
I assume you are willing to pay the offer price for the house, otherwise you wouldn't have made the offer. I also assume your contract stipulates that the house pass inspection and appraises for at least the contract price. If it does, you've just bought a house you like for a price you're willing to pay. If it doesn't you can back out of the contract or renegotiate the sale price. There's enough angst in buying a house that you don't need to stress over whether or not you've made the best possible deal.
Enjoy!
Maybe they just want to sell it.
Wait til the inspection and make sure nothing is wrong with the house.
Then get your keys and enjoy!
