Part exchanging with Taylor wimpey

Sounds similar to me. The surveyor is asked to give a quick sale figure rather than a normal one. That's why it is lower.

Our plot hadn't even been started when we put in the part ex app so there was no pressure on TW to renegotiate. If your plot is nearly finished then they might negotiate. Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Sparkles fingers crossed! I know that their Home Report is low as the same cottage flat as mine across the road has Home Reported at 90K and it has original kitchen and bathroom which went in when the house was built in 1980s!

Just need to wait and see - they need to sell the last 2 houses of the phase so hoping they will get back in touch with slightly better offer, not holding my breath though!

The sales girl just phoned and said 80 is their final offer so that's the end of that unfortunately

Stop being so doom and gloom! You don't even know what the estate is like that the OP is buying on, so stop scaremongering.
The social housing on our estate has been perfectly fine with no problems. Not everyone in council housing is out to make homeowners lives miserable.

I am giving facts,my experiences and the experiences of hundreds of others i have spoke to online.The social housing on my estate is fine as well i never said it was bad,i simply said there will be social housing on the estate,read before you jump

The provision of social housing does not need to be on the development, but the developer would need to pay a large amount of cash to the HA so they can buy affordable housing elsewhere.

It depends on the Council's policies. For example, my Council will not accept affordable housing elsewhere and it needs to be on the development in question. There may be circumstances where we would accept payments for a contribution towards off-site affordable housing, but they are rare.

We were shown on development map where affordable housing was in our estate and were told that all new build developments have to allocate a percentage to housing association. Not sure if that's true or not?

Yes, it depends on the planning policies - affordable housing normally has to be part of a development in order for the whole development to get planning permission. Affordable housing is not full of 'scruffs' though, it could be used by essential workers for example - police officers, nurses, etc.
