I think it may be disqualified because it's a proper noun. Otherwise, I'm stumped.

The word gazump (to swindle or overcharge) is okay.

More commonly to offer a higher price for property than that which
the seller has already agreed. (Yes ... it's legal in UK, although immoral)

Rather to raise the price of property after agreeing verbally to a lower price with an intending buyer.

I beg to differ.
The practice of gazumping (in UK at least) is when the second
buyer offers a higher price. (Not the vendor raising the price.)
The 2nd buyer is the gazumper the 1st buyer is gazumped.

The word was zumba, but I was not aware that it was a proper noun, my apologies. Luckily, there was a replacement word.
