    just an update - seller came back unprompted & lowered price to £240k

    You've got them right where you want them now - instead of you continually upping your offer, they are having to come to you begging. Sit back and wait a while, they'll be back with a lower offer.

    I think we might wait 5 days or so, if we don't hear anything we'll then offer £237 final offer...

    I meant it slightly in gest!
    I just think as a FTB I'd not want to be surrounded by old people.

    *giggles* I would! I would love a bungalow and to be surrounded by old people. Nice and peaceful :p Better than putting up with arrogant young people who like blaring out their music at all hours ---> my neighbour! I'm in my 20s but i like my home to be a peaceful sanctuary.

    Btw, good luck with your offer LSM!

    Look at comparables for size and price.

    If I were you I'd put a written offer in to the agent and through the vendors door - with my original offer. Have you got an agreement in principle or mortgage offer, proof of deposit?? Solicitors already instructed??

    You have no chain - you're the one in charge! And remember - all offers are subject to a full structural survey!

    Good Luck!
