Will it make any difference too a ftb if the house in question was a private sale?? I'm currently thinking of putting an offer in but don't know where to start. O.I.R.O £150000. What should my first offer be roughly??

The bonus is that you may find the negotiation a little less pressured, as there's no Estate Agent trying to improve their commission.
Some elements of the paperwork are chased by EAs, so you might need to push the vendor or your solicitor to keep things moving.
