Hi all, Recently had an offer of £635k accepted on a house in England ( asking price £650k). It’s a nice area and a house that ticks loads of our boxes. Two weeks after this we got a phone call from the estate agent stating that the sellers had had a knock on their door from people who had previously offered on the house and now were prepared to increase their offer to £640k and the sellers have now accepted this offer and asked if we would like to counter. We could go to £640k- the issue is less of affordability but more value for money and even more so the integrity and honesty of the sellers. Just looking for thoughts and advice please. My view is to probably walk away on the basis that people who will do this for £5k will be nightmare sellers having already shown their true colours. Thanks submitted by /u/dizzleschmizzle
