We've sold our house to first time buyers and should be moving out early new year. We haven't found anywhere to buy yet so going to rent of a friend.
We have seen a house for £200k, started with a offer of £178k and then went to £183k. The sellers will not budge on £188k, so we offered to meet half way at £185,500 but they're still not budging but we won't be upping our offer as don't think the house is worth anymore than our last offer.
We are hoping that in a few weeks they may come back to us but has anyone got any tips in the mean time that could possibly persuade them to agree to the £185,500, espeically with the latest news that prices have fallen again.
They know we are ready to move, come the new year and they are buying privately.

Just hang in there, and let them know that your offer is on the table - you could give them a time limit on how long the offer stands for.0
