  • £2k under asking seems very good, sell sell sell!

    Take it, don't even think about it. 2k is sod all, my vendor knocked £6.5k off a £139k house because I was a first time buyer and ready to move, so you've lost half what they have. Their's was also only on the market a few days IIRC, they could have held out for more but I'd have gone after another I had my eye on.

    House was on the Market for £125k they Offered me £123K

    Without knowing more its hard to say other than 'take it' as its close to your asking price. Of course they might try and drop the price later, especially if their lender's survey does not value it so highly and they are maxed out on LTV, but no point in worrying about that now.
    For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.

    I took £5k under my asking price at the peak of the boom - and I'd already reduced it by £8k, so overall I accepted £13k under.

    I know somebody selling right now who accepted an offer £13k under their asking price when it had been on the market just 3 weeks (last month).

    £2k is nothing. £2k off would be normal even in most rising markets.
