Gazunder on a probate property?

Remember market forces - supply and demand. Yes there may have been 2-bed properties for sale which could be purchased for less but they have been snapped up. So you have to look at what is available on the market now. Everyone is saying it is a buyers market but does that apply where you want to live? If you push the button and they refuse to deal with you, is there another flat you could buy? Would the next vendor be expecting even more?

I'm not saying don't do it, although personally I wouldn't. But I am saying think about your specific circumstances and all possible consequences of this action. You could end up £10k better off. Or you could end up financially worse off and having to live somewhere which is less of a match to your ideal place.

Just think it through first...

i never get why people think because another house sold for x then it should be the same. whole host of reasons why similar looking properties wven close in time sell for different prices.

'oh I just have to be in this village, I'll pay an extra £10k etc etc'

If our Buyer did what you are about to do, I'd withdraw contracts, as people are indeed funny about hat their hosue is worth, and reducing the price is not the best signal you can give to the seller about ehri pride and joy.

good luck though.

This is a commercial transaction and the OP potentially stands to gain between £5k-£10k; and not based upon greed, but upon circumstances that appear eminently reasonable. Besides, for what it is worth, the OP has stated that he feels a little uncomfortable pursuing the proposed course of action.

It's also his responsibility to research the market before hand, the information was there previously, but he wants what someone else has. That is the truth of the matter. This is the third time i've heard of someone pulling out at the last minute. I wouldn't go with vile as Emmzi said, I would go with childish and immature! children playing grown up games. If the OP feels unomfortable, then really he should have realised sooner. But no, like all children, he likes playing games. childish childish childish.
