nixy Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 I went to see a house last night i really like but its really tight money wise and I could do with some advice on the best way to negotiate making an offer. Quote
Sarnie Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 How long has it been on the market? Has it had many viewers or offers? Whats their status? eg have they found somewhere else yet? Quote
nixy Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 March don't know don't know Will the agent tell me the rest? Quote
martinmac Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Its always worth a cheeky bid Nic, the market isnt that busy at the moment. Quote
Wasso Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Very true, we've had our house on the market some time now - we'd accept a lower offer, but the market seems to have seriously dried up. It's worth a pop at a fair offer. Quote
Chesterfield Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 If the valuers for the bank are still up to usual tricks, then they will possibly value it for less than the agreed sale price (even if that is already lower than the asking!), resulting in a larger deposit required, so worth bearing in mind when wishing to secur the mortgage. Mortgage advisors and estate agents were getting incredibly frustrated by this just a few months ago as it was causing lots of deals to collapse, along with their respective chains. Quote
pathfinder123 Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Don't show too much interest. Emphasise any faults in the property that you have found. Find out if any other offers have been received and what their status is (e.g. no house to sell etc). If it is just you, then put in a cheeky bid. REMEMBER you can go up but NOT down... Good luck S.

nixy Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 I would just like to say that I LOVE SARNIE!!!! Quote
nixy Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 true. Nothing like being self employed to make you work hard under adverse conditions! I'd probably have six weeks off on full pay! Quote
SunsetZed Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 www.home.co.uk should tell you how long its been on the market and how the askign price has changed. www. Zoopla.co.uk should tell you what similar properties have sold for (assumign there are some that have sold recently!) Quote
