    Bite their hand off. 10 grand within the offers range, and if they have cash in hand, blimey.

    The alternative is if you try pushing things, the buyer might look at another place in the 195 range who might see cash in the bank as a sure-fire thing, leaving you with a place you no longer want for months, and maybe a lower offer.

    we paid £201k for it 2 years ago :o:o

    Great - so you had a lovely roof over your head for £458/month - cheaper than renting.

    By all means choose to stay put hoping to make a profit on the house, but a lot of people are finding out that properties they bought at the top of the boom are worth less than they are now.
