Please confirm if I understood correctly: SMS message confirming our deal can't use to enforce the seller to keep the deal?
And paying a contract deposit?Of course not. Seller can pull out of a sale at any stage between "sale agreed" and signing of contracts.

Hi
You should not encourage this behaviour. Tell the estate agent to return your deposit.
There are plenty of properties on the market.
This behaviour should certainly not be encouraged but the reality of the property market is that there are very different dynamics in different parts of the market. If you want a family home is certain city suburbs, it has become very competitive. The fact that there are thousands of apartments in provincial towns is probably irrelevant to the OP.
You should definitely get the deposit back but the next step is down to an individual decision. How important is that specific property? How easy will it be to find an alternative? Can you afford to pay more?
I agree with all of this. I'm aware of properties in some areas with several actively competing bidders, where the eventual sale price is above the asking. I'm also aware of other areas where you'd have difficulty giving property away. The Irish property market appears to be quite split into regions, much like the UK.
