PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Given the gap, I would look at very close to full price, but get something else out of it
as FTB, be ready to move quick and see if you can get the house withdrawn from the market so no risk of gazumping0 -
The fact that you are a first time buyer acts in your favor, so i wouldnt offer the asking price, go up in steps of £1000 then £500 so the seller thinks they know what your limit is. I made the mistake of offering the asking price on my flat and have regreted it ever since as I was also a first time buyer in a very good position.Save save save!!0

Hello! Have you tried registering on https://www.rightmove.co.uk and you can then view 'Sold prices' in the area right down to the postcode? Might give you an idea if you think you're paying the right money?
Good luck!0
