    Of course you can.
    In fact you should tell the estate agent when you're making the offer that you are also either considering of have made offers on other properties. It will put presssure on the vendors to make a quick decision wrt your offer.

    It can have the opposite effect aswell in that I'm not that interested in the property I'm just lashing out offers trying to get a bite. If an EA or vendor doesn't think your serious your offer(s) may not be considered.

    Nobody wants to deal with somebody libel to mess them around.

    The days of sellers being sniffy about offers is long past.

    Depends, in what part of the very fragmented property market you refer to.

    3 bed semi in SCD for example you will be dismissed in a heartbeat.

    From making offers for over a year now, they are still extrememly sniffy. In fact, if anything more so. I've had to provide evidence of mortgage approval, and have had to get engineers reports done BEFORE an offer was accepted several times.
