Withdrew the first after sleeping on it, due to the location being a bit inaccessible by public transportation. (Shame, as the house was lovely!)
The second house we made an offer on was fantastic and we were eager to get it. So were nine other people, as there were ten buyers bidding on it. We didn't win the bidding war.
Third offer was made on Saturday, and we are now waiting to hear back. The house is very spacious and in an extremely convenient location. The catch is that is needs a lot of internal modernisation work -- new windows, new wiring, that sort of thing. Not ideal, but I figure that we can renovate the inside in parts if finances require. In contrast, we can't easily make a house much bigger (or move it to a different location). So I'd be happy to get this one and then work with the inside as needed. It's not terrible, but it is old. Single-glazed windows and the like.

Fingers crossed!
