How accept an offer above asking price

We’ve been very fortunate that we have accepted an offer above the advertised price. I’ve requested a holding deposit through the ‘Rent Now’ option.
How do I ensure that the higher offer is reflected in the tenancy agreement etc?
First time using OpenRent so any advice greatly appreciated!

you’ll simply need to ensure that the rent amount reflects the higher amount offered. Your deposit value should also change relative to that too.

Personally, I’d treat with suspicion any offer higher than what I’m marketing a property for. It would make me want to go over their application, bank statements, refs etc with even greater scrutiny. People who can pay to jump a queue or for privilege are, in my experience, much harder to deal with than people who have less to live on. Hopefully, my suspicions will, in this case, be unfounded, but I wanted to give you my gut reaction just so you can decide what you want to do with it.
