    I've been house hunting now for 3/4yrs, went to view house asking €280, 4 bed with garage with decent sunny back garden.

    It's close to all town/village but on main road and in need of some modernisation. OH likes it and want to go for it, I phoned to but a bid in of €230/240ish in but was suprised to hear a bid was in for €270 when i asked if a bid was already in. I really didn't want to buy over €250 mark but we're a bit fussy over our house styles.

    I phoned this morning at offered €272, haven't heard back from them since but i'm unsure about it now. What should I do without pissing oh off? I'd prefer a house in estate so kids can play safely not worring about the main road.

    Em... Talk to your other half. An internet forum is not going to assist you there im afraid.

    ring them back to tell them you want to remove your previous offer, and make a new one of €250k, with a time limit of 7 days. if you've set that as a limit, then stick to it. there is no short supply of property.

    unless the property is significantly undervalued, the 270k is likely to be a phantom bid, as would any "bids" above your 272k.
