Looking Out To Sea

Earlier today Helen and I submitted a bid for a flat in Edinburgh. I am neither optimistic nor pessimistic about our chances, because honestly I don’t have any information to go on. We know what flats in that area went for within the last 8 months, and we know what people are offering at the moment (ie, silly money) and we have an upper limit on our own budget. But whether our bid is anything close to what the sellers want — and whether other people will beat us out — is something we cannot tell. This is our first time, after all.

The bids close at midday tomorrow. I don’t know how long it will take them to decide once they’ve closed but I figure we’ll know one way or another by the end of the day tomorrow.
