Advice of making a second offer

In that case could they need a certain amount to clear the mortgage as they may have bought at the height of the market.
They brought in in the mid 90s for around 30,000 but have spent money in the last 5 years doing up the house so may have re-mortgaged, but I dont think that they will have a price that they need to clearNow buying our second house:

It depends on how much you want the house/what else is on the market/how soon you want to buy. If you really want it and you're not willing to go over 153k, offer in the region of £150k and if that's declined offer £152/3 emphasing that you've managed to find a bit more than you had budgetted originally, but it's your absolute final offer. Good luck!!0

You could always offer to rent it, with a view to seeing whether it really is the house/area for you. Then if you really like it as much as you hope, you could offer to buy.Free the dunston one next time too.0
