House Offer - SV650.org

hindle8907 · 01-08-12, 10:49 AM

Well I just put an offer of 121,000 on a property listed as "offers over" 140,000.
I am willing to pay up to 130,000 for the house.
Its been on the market since Feb the owner has died and its the children selling so no chain, we are also first time buyers.

Anyone got any tips for the negotiations ?

Yes move into a smaller house and give me 50k as I need 230k for a decent house down here

Ouch, this is a three bed extended - semi, with garage and a adequate sized south facing garden.

Jeez I need to get out of Reading. It's going to cost me nearly £200k when I try and buy a place next year for a 2 bed apartment.

Go round & spray "PAEDOPHILE" across the front door. Should knock a couple of grand off the price.

Move north!

Ant, see what happens, a friend did that on the terrace he's got and they accepted (£15k+ below list)

Justify everything you say to them,keep it friendly but professional, and most of all keep communication good and as frequent as necessary (i.e without seeming over keen obviously) . If you're communicating via an estate agent hammer them and make sure they're passing on messages and maybe test them to make sure they aren't being devious and employing tactics to up their middle man cut.It's good that you've given yourself a cap, and as everyone will tell you think objectively and don't get attached

The duchess ( Step mother) looked at a small bungalow last year for £370k. She had an offer of of £350k rejected. 2 weeks ago it changed estate agent for £320 and they have accepted her new offer of £280k.

So wave money under their noses when they realise nobody is prepared to pay inflated estate agents values.

Stop telling southerners what they can get oop north, they sell their 1 bedroom flats and buy 3 bedroom detached with money left over around here. It is driving up the cost of housing.

Still with all the unfinished boxes on huge brownfield development and garden grabs there is more housing than buyers so that at least helps hold prices back
