If you contacted the estate agent and said you were prepared to make another offer and reminded them that they were obliged to get the best price they could.
Tell them you are going to the Housing Executive and the Ombudsman and Stephen Nolan.

Before you contact them get back to the estate agent with your increased offer, in writing. And tell the estate agent what you're going to do if they don't consider your offer.
