No harm in calling them tomorrow, just call and ask if the vendor's have had a second thought and you have other properties to view.Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. - Alex Supertramp0

Not really sure what to do from here.... Don't want to be too eager but we are willing to increase our offer. Just don't want them to think we will keep upping our offer.0 -
If they only knocked you back today, I'd wait a couple of days before upping your offer. Don't want to seem too keen; you could say that you've had to take time to re-examine your finances and are now stretching yourself (say this when you're putting in what you have decided will be your best and final offer).
They either take it or they don't, and then you'll know whether to look elsewhere.0 -
And what if they remortgaged to £140k in 2006? :cool:Jack_Johnson_the_acorn wrote: »Of course its bloody relevant, they shouldn't have a debt to service on the property, whereas if they had recently bought and paid close to what were offering they mightn't be able to accept the offer, its clearly a better scenario for us that they only paid £40k.I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.0 -
Have increased our offer, apparently they are looking at other properties to buy this weekend, although on rightmove it says chain free..... I suspect it might be a ploy to get us to increase our offer, i.e they need a few more £k's to afford the 1 they want, at which point I will hold firm and continue looking else where....0

You are taking the whole game/ploy too seriously. I would suggest keeping things simple. Offer what you feel you want/can and move on. Let the EA know of your intentions.Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. - Alex Supertramp0

I have told them £127k is it... So it's upto them.0 -
...and if they accept, you will be liable for £1270 Stamp Duty.0
