What should I offer?

Just wondered if anyone new what would be an acceptable price to pay for this property now:

This is what it was sold for in 2011:
The house in a 3 bed freehold end terrace decorated to a high standard, garage in block is rented from the council.
The house sold for £168,000

Houses in Stevenage not needing any updating seem to sell within a month.

It is being sold privately i.e. not through an agent, but the seller says that an agent valued it recently at £175000.

It doesn't matter what it was bought for in 2011 or what the asking-price is now.

The only thing that matters is what comparable houses have sold for recently in the same neighbourhood. And that's only a guide. Prices can vary from street to street, depending on how desirable said street is.

Look at recent land registry sold prices for the street and area, you need way more information than from just one property.
