Looks like a nice place. In a busier market you would have no chance of haggling. If the boiler and tank are in good working order, that is not a reason to lower the price because you prefer something different. I have those and they work just fine.
Just offer a little less than you are willing to pay, based on current market conditions, and see if they bite.Been away for a while.0 -
Looks nice, bathroom could do with some modernisation though.
I'd probably go in at £235,000 then when they reject that £241,000 and final offer of £247,000.
I think they're expecting to be knocked down under the SD threshold from the current price. Did they seem desperate or in a rush to move?0 -
I would start off at about £220K, as you can get a 2-3 bed in Caversham for £185K.:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.
