FTB Buying Off Plan - Can you make a lesser offer?

Hi There,
Just a quick question about buying off-plan.
There was a new development being offered 'Off-Plan' that I was interested in a few months back where the property I was interested in was listed in the first stage at £215,000 but I held off as I wasn't quite earning enough to realistically be able to afford it.
Since then I have received a pay rise and am now interested again in the property.
However it is now at stage two of the reservation stage and the price has increased by 5k to £220,000.
Is it likely the agent who is listing the properties will allow me to offer a lesser figure in order to reserve the property?
Many thanks.

Can ask and the worst they say is no.0

Go see it, work out what you would like to offer, then offer. All they can do is say no.0

If I were to put the reservation fee down would the price be agreed there and then or can you make the offer closer to the completion date?0

You negotiate before reservation.0
