  • Point of order.

    When you come to market, you will be a FTB. Until then, you are a tenant.


    That isn't a point of order, it's a point of information.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    From my experience, you can get 15-20% off easily in today's market conditions for nice houses. If you dont get at least 20% off today then do not buy but wait. Prices are coming down everyday. More discount will save you from getting into negative equity and stress. Negotiate negotiate negotiate.....

    I just had an offer accepted that was 14% of the original asking price. does that mean I've done bad?

    Just waiting to have my hsbc 0.99% tracker mortgage approved (fingers crossed), and also checks on the wiring come back ok.

    14% of == quite good
    14% off == not so good
    After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?
