"...The seller was a private one and claimed that an offer would need to be made in the next week otherwise tennants would be moving in...."
Let's not even discuss why you want to buy now. That's not the purpose of my response.
It sound odd that the seller is drawing a line in the sand and gives a deadline of sort that if he doesn't get an offer in another week, he will bring in a tennant to create a mess for his onging sales effort.
If a tennant is going to move in a week's time, the rental contract would already have been drawn up for some time ?
Why don't you consider the possibility that he is simply bluffing.
