of course he should and people should learn how to bargain in this country and not to offer close to asking price, as it is always inflated by 10% of what the vendor expects to achieve.

Not always at all. What a ridiculous comment to make.

So what you're saying is that unless a vendor accepts 10% below the asking price then walk away?

Go in at £170000 then if refused go up to 175000 but I wouldnt go any higher than that-you are in a great position!

Have a look at zoopla, nethouseprices, houseladder, rightmove,
So the vendors paid £168K in 2006 and rewired, new bathroom and new kitchen fitted.
Thats not much of an extension if only 3m2 more a front porch/ toilet?
How are house prices in the area ?
How much do you want this house
Does it tick all the boxes ? and will you stay for years ?

He/she means for the first offer.
You can always increase the offer, but you can't generally go the other way.
You never know, they might actually accept the first offer.
