Hopefully someone can offer some advice.

I've made an offer on a property of 160k and this has been rejected. The EA has said he wants 165k

He's offered to decorate as the property prior to the sale, what should I do next?

Can I offer 162k or 163k and ask him not to do the decorating.

Help help help

Yes whatever he decorates will probably not be to your taste anywya,so you'd want to decorate yourself.
I would offer £162,500,which is half way. What is the asking price of the proeprty may i ask?

It was an offer overs 159k - (England)

tell them not too bother decorating as you will want to do that yourself.

i just went sale agreed on a house that was on the market for £165000. husband and i put in an offer of £160000, then it sat for a while and it went to £161000 then we put an offer of 162K it then went to £162.5k we put 163K bid up again to £163.5k then we put an offer of £165k and everyone else dropped out.

just go up in small increments and take your time. do not think they will sell if you do not automatically bid up.

go to £162K do not offer him too much. he is chancing his arm.

I hate that when they say offers over £159k and then when you offer £160k say they want £165,why didn't they say offers in region of £165 in first place.
I think they are pushing their luck and I would go in at £161k now and then go up to £162K.If you're a first time buyer you are in excellent position too as anybody chain free has to be less of a risk than people in a chain,like we are finding out.Good luck
