fair offers to asking prices

Never be afraid of walking away; there is ALWAYS a better deal somewhere. I think 560 cash for 575 is more than generous. Call the EA on Friday and say the bid is now 555; that will scare the vendor! -
Originally posted by Moscow MuleI was asking 325, accepted 313. Market has cooled since the HIP debacle and it's taking longer to sell.
this is exactly my point, offering 560 when the asking price is only 575 is a fair offer , some people are just greedy.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by Cooperinliverp00lwe put in offer on house that was on market for £189k. We offered £170k as it needs refurbishing throughout. The vendor said no to that offer but said to the EA they would accept £180k if we offered it.
I went back with £175k offer and they still said no. We are going on holiday in a couple of weeks for a few weeks so going to wait until we get back then offer £175k again and point out the fact they could have been moving out by now if they accepted the original offer.
My friend who is an EA said that it is a buyers market at the moment and you shouldn't be affraid to put in an offer that is really low and work your way up from that. If you have no chain then you add more value to your offer.
hence rip off asking prices , some sellers are really taking the wee wee though .Leave a comment:

When I put an offer in on that house that fell through it was £160 and the asking was originally £189,000.
The house was on the market for 12 months, I'll just let it sit there for another 12 then then offer £150.Leave a comment:
