It can put sellers off you if you go too low but you will have to judge. Then give it a go and get in there quick.

Ive ignored whats on the news with property prices at the moment. I just listen to Kirsty and Phil on Location,location, location. They say property in London will just keep going up and up for a long time yet.
I was thinking of offering £230,000. Then if it gets rejected, go up £1000 at time slowing to £500. I want it for £235,000. Anything less obviously is fantastic.
Does £230,000 sound good?

Yes i was looking at £1400 a month. I can just about afford that. However, ive also got tons of overtime for the next 12 months that is adding a couthple of thousand extra to my pay check each month. So im not too bothered with the emergency money. The flat needs about £10,000 of work needing to be done, then there is furniture. But i can do all this over time.0

It's the only place in St Johns Wood I could find for £239,950.
Ex Local authority houses go up in price at a low slower rate than non ex local authority houses.
Why would the payments get easier with time? Are you expecting big pay rises? You must be working for a very good company if so as most companies tend to give the rate of inflation & that's it.0 -
