Why

Fair point.

TBH, on reflection, if she is stretched financially to cover the mortgage, she may not have money to deal with any issues/repairs that may arise with the property (boiler, plumbing etc) once you move in.

Especially as there's only way for interest rates to go.

RRP <------------ The clue is in the title.

How many times have you argued that in Tescos. If your bill comes to 105 quid see that they do if you offer them 100 cash!

Never have. However, I can exercise my rights to find another supplier of the same goods at a better price.



Your turn.

When I have rented I've never paid the asking price. You should be able to get at least 5% off.

[NotAllThere]

Not what she would have said if I could not afford my rent payments.

Quite. So accept her counter offer and after the first rent, claim to have run into financial difficulties.

Ok

Well if I went to tesco and there was one box of turkey twizzlers left and when I got to the counter the checkout person said that, although the are marked £1.50, there are three people that want them. The checkout person is not going to start a bidding war


On the same vein, if I go into Tesco and choose a box of Jaffa cakes for £2 and when I get to the counter I tell the checkout person that I feel they are overpriced, he/she is not going to turn roound and say, that is the mugs price, I will let them go for £1,50

On the same vein, if I go into Tesco and choose a box of Jaffa cakes for £2 and when I get to the counter after accidentally bashing the box up a bit I tell the checkout person that I feel they are damaged, he/she is not going to turn round and say, that is the mugs price, I will let them go for £1,50

FTFY

Does she want to lose


mortgage payment + council tax + heating cost over winter

or

mortgage payment - rent


per month?



Stand firm, if she had a better offer she'd take it.

[Churchill]

Oi SunnySan, f**k her! Seriously, you might get a discount!

My childhood was scarred by having to stand there in M&S while my Mum tried to get a discount because she was buying 5 pairs of y-fronts.
