We accepted an offer of £171k for an asking price of £177,500. We had an offer of £192,500 for a house that was on the market at £199,950 (originally £205k BEFORE we viewed it). Our local EA are using a 5% reduction on asking price as a general rule of thumb at the moment. The market is sizzling.

OTOH, I always think that a deal needs to be fair/acceptable to both parties, or you run an increased risk of either being gazumped or the vendor changing their mind and pulling out after you have started spending money on the purchase. Everyone likes a bargain, but you can have too much of a good thing?
