The poll is about how much of the asking price you paid. I thought my post was telling you that :rolleyes:

Hi all

Heres another poll!!! :j

Just interested in hearing from people who have actually bought properties this year. Basically, I wanted to know how much of the asking price was paid;

1. Full Asking Price
2. More then 95%
3. Between 90% - 95%
4. Between 85% - 89%
5. Between 80% - 84%
6. Less then 80%
7. Above asking price:eek:

The reason I ask is beacuse everyone suggest that we should always put in a first offer of 80% to 90% but I actually want to know how successfull that has been!!!:p

Obviously, its dependant on each local area but lets not delve into that:rotfl:

The more Scots that vote, the more likely No.7 is going to get more votes.
The house I just bought, I paid 118% of the asking price but given the current climate, 118% is actually quite low. The guy who bought my flat paid146% of my asking price (Or offers over if you like).

Ditto, I just paid 110% and am quite smug about it! :rotfl:

Wow, interesting results so far. Lets see if we can get more people voting (100 people at least).

So it seems that majority of people are pay above 90% of the asking price to secure their purchase (going along with the advice in the House Buying Money Saving Tip Guide).

The only thing that can skew this result is if we have more Scots voting in this Poll because of their "Offers Over" system!!!

Keep voting fellow moneysavers....

Paid £86,500 on a £89,500 asking price, which I think they'd lowered from £92,000ish previously. 96% anyway, with carpets and white goods included.
