FTB how much to offer

  • It'll be a flat with the prices in my area. Thanks for the advice again. Could offer to buy if they are willing to sort out an extension, but woudl have thought they would have considered that before advertising and would be the reason for cheap price of the property. Could even offer a small sum towards the renewal, is that acceptable? Considering the most I am willing to pay is 125K cos I could only afford about 128K and stamp duty comes in after 125K so not worth considering anything above.

    Stamp duty only applies on the portion of money above 125k, remember, so stamp study on a 128k property would be £60 (2% of £3k). Not much, really!
