PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Seriously....ask for a contribution, they can only say no, and if they are desperate to move, they be worried about you pulling out.20 plus years as a mortgage adviser for Halifax (have now retired), and I have pretty much seen it all....:D0 -

As a Surveyor my advice to all my clients is to get some prices then ask for a contribution. As long as you are polite and friendly then they are unlikely to be offended and if you pull out the next person will probably just do the same thing so they are unlikely to do that. If you ask and they say no then you have not lost anything.
The other advice I always give to buyers is never ask the EA for advice, stick to those people who you are paying for advice and who only have your interest in mind. That is your Surveyor and your Solicitor.0
