    Although the advice is never to take anything personally, at that level of offer I think I'd be disregarding the advice :eek:

    Make a counter offer of £300,000. :D
  • The EA was embarrased when he phoned me, apparently this woman sold her house recently and wouldnt take a penny below the asking price!

    House prices may be on their way down, but that offer is quite unreasonable, how can she imagine you would accept.

    Absolutely no need to take it personally though, she is just trying her luck. Just say no and move on!
