    Someone once told me that normally decent people do 'funny' things when it comes to selling cars and houses. Something to do with the large sums involved. Actually, perhaps it just shows their true colours - bit like having a one too many drinks.

    Do you need to give a reason to offer under the asking price apart from saying that's your budget?

    Good luck

    I wish that was the case but desirable locations cost money, even up North.
