    My local friendly estate agent is a Cambridge graduate. He's a very clever bloke and well worth listening to.
    Care to elaborate on the degree?

    Thought not.

    Pure nonsense from you as ever.

    Carol Vorderman also has a Cambridge degree (3rd class maths, lol!) and her lack of intelligence is as blatant as her advertising of Persil whilst hosting Tomorrow's World to con viewers.

    She's even been the target of an MSE campaign against using her quasicleverclogs image to flog debt-consolidation products.

    A bit of history for you, Ghoulie you cardboardboxowner: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/192581

    Perhaps if she'd've become an estate agent she'd've become less evilly-inclined, selfish and insidious. Tough call though.

    Evil is evil innit?

    Anglia Ruskin University at best.

    Form Cambridge college of Arts and Technology, where the local kids used to learn plumbing.

    Offer low, nobody takes you seriously and someone else pips you for your dream home. Offer high and you might just get it. 10% over the asking price marks you out as being a serious buyer and seperates you from the rest of the plebs and renters.
    Get someone else to offer low to test the water.

    Did you consider that? No, because you are just punting VI.

    This is MSE you know, and in general we are on the side of the consumer.

    I must admit I wish I had some of what Sibley and GHOULIE have to put on my bait when I go fishing because they get plenty of bites.

    What does a low offer say about YOU?

    That you have absolutely no chance of buying my house. :)

    Not that I'm selling, but if I ever do, I'd refuse to even negotiate further with someone that put in a "cheeky" offer.

    Why waste time dealing with time wasters?
