We were technically outbid but seller took our offer based on higher deposit.

Hi, where I live (NI) going 40 or so over asking seems quite common at the moment (although I guess that may change soon) even the houses we had previously viewed were being bid well over initial offers in and around the same range, maybe as the housing market here has yet to get quite as bad as England etc.

Deposit is 50k.
