Where do you download the Home Report? There's a few on Rightmove.
I've registered on their website but can't see how to request the report
Depends on where the selling agents are advertising it.
'Their website' -the selling agent's?
Are you saying there's more than one HR for one property on RM?0 -
Sorry, no I just meant there's a few properties on Rightmove that seem decent.
I emailed the agents but the property I was asking about had an accepted offer this morning, ah well!0 -
I will share probably something I shouldn't.
If you want to get Huuge discounts on Anything that includes houses:
-find the ones which have been on market for some time already and have got already good price, you will be lucky actually if someone has viewed it before and has wasted the sellers time already,the more the better!
-Its best if the property isnt in the tip-top shape and you can find faults with it, obviously state the faults to the seller and say that it will need lots of work and that you are not sure if you want it,but will do your research and get prices and call him back tomorrow.
-When tomorrow comes, make sure its late evening , at least 7PM, at that time people get more tired and their minds dont function as good as freshly out of bed and its easier to get things agreed on, than call and say that you have thought about it, but the problems really bother you and still not sure, but maybe would be interested IF the price is right and ask whats the lowest they would take,to that question rarely anyone answers and asks to give them your offer, now depending on the actual condition you can make super-low-ball offer and you have a really good chance it will be accepted if seller is ready to sell and can see you as a real buyer.
This works on pretty much anything , houses/land/cars ... Its normal to get at least 15-20% off this way, I have got as much as 60% off a piece of land just because I have asked.
Obviously this works much much better If you can talk to the seller directly not some agents.0
