Certainly not. I have never advocated stingeyness and I won't start now!
Bleeding renters, they don't know they're born!

Hear Hear!

Tenants should be unseen and unheard as far as I'm concerned.

They've got far too many rights too

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!

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.

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

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.

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

[sunnysan]

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

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.

[Zippy]

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

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



Your turn.

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

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.

[Churchill]

Do you also haggle in supermarket? Or when posting letters?

Some prices are take it or leave it.

[Clippy]

and when the property is repossessed and the tenants are out on ye olde street? sunnysan, I'd tell the landlady she needs to put down 3 months rental deposit with you to cover your additional risk. Cheeky b.tch.

sunnysan - if you are not hung up about this particular property, then tell the landlady to do one.

FFS, if she is overstretched by the mortgage, then that's her lookout not the (potential) tenants.

Its a sh1thole in a nice location. Certainly not worth what she is asking, silly cow can go bankrupt with an empty flat for all I care.
