A property is only worth what someone will pay. You have to decide what the property is worth to you.

Actually if you are getting a mortgage its only worth what the valuation says - and with new builds being notoriously difficult to get mortgages on (without large deposits) the valuation is all important

as per most new builds, I need to put down a reserve deposit in order to get anywhere.. If i put down 1k, then get my lender to value to property and it turns out to be alot less, the seller won't budge and I lose my reserve deposit. Im thinking that is what might have happened with the previous guy who was interested.

The flats are in london.. walking distance from the city...
As i said.. they are small, but they are kind of pimped But on the other hand.. even 240 is pretty steep for a 1 bed. But it was the max i was prepared to pay.

I could get a different (still new build) 1 bed flat further down the road.. (not so good area tho, surrounded by ex-council high rise buildings) for a bit less.. and its nearly double the size.. Pretty good internally, but the smaller one is much better

"Kinda pimped" in those small flats usually means tap fittings that look good and gleam in all the right places but aren't actually that good.

At the end of the day, you know what you think the place is worth to you, you know what you can afford. If their valuation of their property differs from your valuation then you either have to spend on something you think is over-valued or walk away and find somewhere else.

You can't make them accept your price and there isn't a lot we can do here to change that, only put it in perspective. It isn't like a really long post count on a MSE thread is a useful mechanism for controlling property prices, or the liebour cabinet ministers would all be on here right now spamming their own little thread about how useful their bailout plan is really no really it is honest.

I have curtains like the bedspread in that development.

Do you get a free bedspread with the flat?

i could move in with my curtains. We could save some money on matching soft furnishings.
