how to state property price. quickie question.

hamblettamaud

i see from the various property sites that there are different ways of stating the price, eg:

• offers in the region of £100,000
• offers above £100,000
• asking price £100,000

are these just meaningless terms, or can we still offer below the asking price and get away with it?

thanks, hamble

In this market, offer what you like. They'll soon tell you if they won't accept.

I would say someone asking for offers above 100,000 is less willing to negotiate than someone asking for offers in the region of 100000 unless circumstances have changed!

thanks, guys. but who determines these ways of describing prices, the estate agent or the vendor?

The owner decides the Estate Agent suggests and explains.

Depends on how posh the agents (think) they are!

Its all just a different way of saying the same thing, a figure of speech. In this market, Murphy's Golden Rule applies - He who has the gold makes the rules.
