Just do it through the ea. You'll look too eager otherwise.geordiepaul2001 wrote: »The office is shut now, I do have the vendors phone number but I don't know how she would feel about me phoning to discuss it.Illegitimi non carborundum.0 -

Surely that's over your top limit already? I very much suspect that there are no other buyers. Unless you simply have to have this particular house, just leave it.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Its looking like 115 is going be your next bid....im thinking they wont budge at anything under 117.Would you pay the full asking if thats what it took? If not your best to walk now with your final offering.Might make them rethink.0

the vendors situation is not your problem,, hang fast and wait a couple of days to see in they re-approach you.... then YOU will have upper hand.
a cheeky REDUCED bid may even be in order, for messing you about!
also, highlight positives ofselling to you (cash buyer,quick completion etc?)Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..

£155,000 down to £120,000 is over 20 % which is about right I would have said if the £155,000 was realistic at the time. You can’t force them to drop the price you really need to decide what the most you are willing to pay is and if they want more look for somewhere else you can always leave your offer on the table.0

You said that you don't want to go higher than 110K; you've already offered 113K. If I were you I'd leave that offer on the table. Did you tell the EA that you're not willing to go higher?0

could somebody please explain to me why you would leave an offer on the table?
I would always withdraw my offer if it is not accepted, and make it clear that any future offer would depend on circumstances at the time.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
