New Build - How much should we offer?

shortchanged_2

That's exactly what I see myhouse.

If people are silly enough to buy into these so called bargains then so be it.

Lets take another example.

2 televisions for sale, same make, model, spec etc. One company normally sells them for £750, the other normally sells it for £1000 but has it on sale for £800! Yes that's a full 20% off!!!

Now which one is the bargain?

I'm sure there are many people who would boast they got tv number 2 for a bargain price, however imagine their disappointment when their mate tells them they bought their tv from company 1.

Take the £ symbol away and, yes.

Getting a 10p bag of crisps for 8p IS a bargain.

Oh well done, completely change the example to help your argument. Do we have a facepalm smiley?

I should also have added that it's a poorly built, rabbit-hutch-tiny bag of crisps as well.

I'm trying to work out how much new builds we are interested in are actually worth to make an offer. They are the last few of the plot, is there a way of seeing the sold prices for the others?

id personally steer clear of any new build property, they will be falling to pieces a few years down the line...
