In fact, this place almost seems too good to be true - two big bedrooms (I was shocked!), central heating, 2 year old double glazing, a lease which was renewed in 2004 for 125 years!0

Service charges?? Does sound nice thoughScar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0

The service charges are: £100 a year for ground rent, £300 a year for maintenance although I can't get to the bottom of whether that includes building insurance (it's a purpose built flat with 6 flats inside the building). That, of course, shouldn't be an issue - this flat is so nice that I think I'll be going up to my very limit on it should it come to that - I'm just hoping that I don't get gazumped.
It's a very nervous time though - I guess the adrenalin must be good for me!!!0 -
good luck!!Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0

I erred with caution in the end, and put in an offer of £85,000. The EA had already told me someone had been rejected, and I felt to save time (I'd put in an offer previously on another property for £87,500), I would go to a round £85,000.
Nerves are kicking in a bit now though. How do people do it when they move every few years????0 -

all your base are belong to us :eek:0 -
Quick as a shot, they are back to reject £85,000. It sounds like they are willing to accept under the asking price which is, of course, a bonus so I've upped to £87,000. As much as I like the place, I won't be held to ransom and I know my limits.
Is it a positive sign that the agents asked to have a copy of my AIP?0 -
The agents are checking you can afford it, not really positive or negative! What are you willing to go to?Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0
