Bryant new build, what to offer?

Sounds like a good tactic and inforces your point that your money may be spent elsewhere0

I wouldn't even call back tomorrow. Be patient my young apprentice. You're about to spend £130k and you can't wait a few days!
Once you call, they know you want it really bad and can hold firm on the price.
Take your mind off the place and go do something for a few days.
That's just what I would do.0 -
What bluegrover says PLUS also go and see a few more places, you never know you may find some other place you like more!0

Well it turns out it sold last night just after I spoke to the Bryant chap. He could have let me know. Apparently they offered "significantly more" than we did.
Oh well, back to the 3 bed semi that needs some work. On at 120k for over a year down from 150k. I'm going in with 102k0 -

If it did, then the sales guy wants shooting... he didn't even ATTEMPT to play the two buyers off each other... :rolleyes:
BUT, if he is telling the truth, then you didn't loose out (since they supposedly offered quite a bit more than you were prepared to pay). Wonders will never cease...Oh well, back to the 3 bed semi that needs some work. On at 120k for over a year down from 150k. I'm going in with 102k
AND keep a look out for other things as well... at least around here, quite a lot seems to be coming onto the market on a daily basis (especially that end of the market). It is important that you are sure about what you buy: at the moment, the worst thing to do would be to buy something and then decide you don't like it and want to sell it 6/12/18 monthd down the line...

Don't be down hearted. There are plenty of other fish in the sea!In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -
Shows how much we know
Can't know everything... BUT I still think that Bryant Sales Chap acted really odd... SURELY if you have two interested buyers (and you are a sales professional), you play them off against each other...?
I am guessing that the other buyer was a cash buyer and - regardless of the amount he offered - made an offer (to complete ultra-quickly) that Moldy wouldn't have been able to match...
Wierd times we live in...

My partner and I went to have a look at a development in the Midlands today. They need to sell one more off plan to be able to start build the set of 4 houses.
It is a 4 bed house with 2 ensuites on for 129,950. We are having a 85/15 mortgage. We are prepared to pay the asking price without any hesitation but is it worth putting in a lower offer and/or asking for carpets to be thrown in?
The woman said there was no negotiating but she needs to sell one more to be able to build the others so they should be desperate to sell surely?
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.0 -

don't buy off plan you'd be mad to.....and why is there no neogotiating?? sounds like shes telling porkies to me.
buy when its built.....if you search this forum you will find plenty of people that have bought of plan with a promised finish date only to be still waiting a year later........doesn't always happen i'm sure but the money is better in your pocket than theirs.41If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0
