20% off, stamp duty paid and full upgrade- plus full (lowered) value part ex

WelshNic

Part ex is a deal in itself, saves you the hassle and cost of selling yourself. You might get stamp duty + carpets as well if you're lucky.

Not sure- how do I find out? Do I just ask?

£80k odd off a £360k house?
Pushing it IMHO, but good luck

I think you've been reading these forums too much

MrsBauer

I think you're right :money:

WelshNic

If you don't ask and all that but I wouldn't set your heart on it

Let us know how you get on

I think they might throw you out of the office I'm afraid. Part exchange suggests that you can't sell as your asking price is too high so them taking that at full price is a significant discount already. To then ad stamp duty, a further 20% discount and an upgrade is a bit silly. Their profit margins aren't anywhere near that high.

It's Ampthill Heights, Bedford.

What feasibly can you expect then? What are their margins?

My house should sell on its own so I ought to wait it out really.

Play hard and you will be rewarded,some of us have got well over 30% off asking prices for our homes and its just business at the end of the day.i found a seller who was desperate and up against the wall with a time line.I used this information to gain a massive discount for my family but the sellers took everything including the front door bell. I never lost any sleep over the deal.:rotfl::rotfl: I even got the stamp duty paid..but we never paid it as my wife was a first time buyer..

A friend of mine bought ten units from one of the nationals for a 50% reduction in 2008..If i remember right it was a 180k for 360k asking prices..he rents them out..along with 100s of others.

you have to let them have some sort of margin!!! I know of someone who got 20% off, but that was all they got - no extras, or carpets or floor tiles in kitchen & that was the last flat in the development & they had already fleeced 4 buyers for the full asking price so could afford to sell at 20% off. They wont sell at a loss - think you should aim for 10% discount though and remain firm.
