Depends on the survey

I think you are right to justify it first-hand. I did so right off the bat, when making my first offer on the flat I'm buying. So when the Vendor rejected and counter-offered, the EA told him he didn't think I would go so high due to my reasoning. And the Vendor adjusted his expectations accordingly
That way, the vendor doesn't think you're just knocking it for money off... that you have done your research when making an informed judgement, and are worth taking seriously!0 -
The only reasons for not going higher are "can't pay" or "won't pay".In either case, they are down to your thinking rather than any 'objective' justification!Fizzymartini wrote: »I think you are right to justify it first-hand.
