Bellway new build price negotiation

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi, we have found a Bellway new build that we are interested in. It looks as though they're coming to the end of the build and their sales team are quite lapse in even being on site at the moment and don't have keys available to show you round the different properties. Having seen our property of interest it is going for circa £540k. We know they have paid stamp duty for other properties and would be looking for the same as a standard incentive. Having said that, would we also be laughed out of the office if we asked for stamp duty to be paid and a house price of £500k? I have seen various other threads but most of them years old so was looking for some upto date examples of discounts people have been given. The house we are interested in has been finished for about 2 months now with no buyers or even offers.

If you don't ask you don't get. Just don't show them your DIP as they will know what you can afford. Get them to speak to your broker"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

If their financial year end is approaching you may find them more keen than otherwise - it maybe worth dropping it in if you think you can complete relatively quickly. Also worth remembering, if the house is completed, they were probably marketing it from 6 months+ prior to completion anyway.0

For a new build property of £500K that's complete and without offers to date, I'd be looking for well above stamp duty.
They will want to shift it, not at any price no, but the circumstances certainly allow you to be aggressive with your offer.0 -
Make sure if you go with your OH, they mustn't be over enthusiastic about the place or the EA/Builders will have you by your nuptials"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
