EDIT: Think I've done it!

I wonder if someone could look at the attached and let me know what they think. I was wondering what to offer.

Thanks.

Sorry Poppysarah, I think I've done it now.

Do you know the house number?

It could be worth looking on mouseprice to see what other similar properties in the area are going for.

Also know your seller's motivation and/or desperation before you make a move.

If you view take some chatty soul with you. Get them to chat to the owners and get the story out of them whilst you're concentrating on the viewing.

Make a big list of everything wrong with the house - thats youyr bargaining tool as much as their desperattion to sell. If they're not desperate to sell though you're just insulting their family home

From the number of pics I'd say they're keen to sell

Hideously overpriced. There are very few properties on that street that have ever sold for more than £300,000, and even those were at the very top of the market; prices are now back to 2004 levels, and therefore the ceiling price should be around £250k.
