It’ll take them time to work through the process of realising how much they’re likely to get. Let them sweat it out for now.Oh well. Offer declined.
If the realisation doesn’t take long, they may come back to you. With some people though, it may never happen. It depends on whether they NEED to sell. Good luck!0 -
Does anybody else get that bang bang bang feeling in their chest when the phone rings ..... you try to put it to the back of your mind but you're just kidding yourself !!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:0

:-( our offer was declined too...they wanted closer to asking price.
what to do now? are you going to increase the offer at all? we are thinking of going up a few thousand and saying that is the final offer. is it best to wait a few days or a week even in case no better offers come in?0 -
pottyhouse - yes definitely got that bang bang bang feeling!
then got it again when the agent rang back to try and flog his company's mortgage advisor0 -
Ive had the bang bang feeling for 4 days now! Bloody repo house, takes ages for an answer!0

Well, we can increase it but arent sure if we should. Will have to have a chat to the missus and make a descision. Either way, it will be a final offer. We arent going to pay through the nose for a place that isnt worth it.Mortgage debt - [STRIKE]£8,811.47 [/STRIKE] Paid off!0

EA seemed keen to chase me up this morning, which is a good sign I suppose.....Mortgage debt - [STRIKE]£8,811.47 [/STRIKE] Paid off!0

oh good, yes that surely means they are considering the offer and haven't been inundated with higher/similar offers.
we put in an offer of 2k more and EA said he'd been hoping for 5k more but that would be our absolute max.. we haven't heard back yet and it's been 24 hours. hard to know what to read into it. let's hope not_loaded is right and they realise the only sensible option is to take the offer. we need some bad press about house prices to push them into accepting.0 -
