- you took voluntary redundancy or something?

Yes I got £750K in voluntary redundancy

[BrilloPad]

Offered £750K cash on an asking price of £800K.
Refused as being too low, FFS.

Fook orf then.

You should have offered £700k first so you could have moved up to £750k later.

Even atw would have known that. Are you some sort of cretin?

Are you some sort of cretin?

Are you sure that should be a question?

I think the original post and subsequent statements totally confirm a lack of understanding regarding how negotiations work.

Possibly, when it comes to negotiation. I do have a take it or leave it approach generally.
I've got X to spend, its a reasonable offer - don't waste my time.

I'm not buying a fooking doll's house.
As for negotiation, take it or leave it. Plenty of nice houses where I'm looking, someone or other will have to sell.

This is exactly the sellers point.
muppet.

Oh dear.

Got to be clever when it comes to these things.

Ok point taken. I thought they'd bite my hand off as a cash buyer. Apparently not

Why would the seller care about how you finance your side of the deal?

That only works when a seller wants a fast deal.
