What to offer?

What a lovely house! I'd ask about keeping some of the furniture, it'd be worth a fortune down here, no idea about in Scun thorpe
It'd cost 75k to modernise that in Surrey. I expect trades are cheaper up there.
Absolutely love it!0 -

If it's over, reduce your offer accordingly.
How refreshing ... That's exactly how an offer should work.
Too many people take the asking price and reduce their offer according to what they would choose to do to a place. Which is clearly rubbish!0 -
Just read in MoneySavingExpert's house biiuying guide that I could ask for input about what to offer for a house. So any advice is very welcome.
We don't have a house to sell, so that is a plus.
The house: rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-40619142.html
It does not have double glazing everywhere
The whole house needs redecorating
The bathroom needs extending
It does not have full central heating
Needs new kitchen
Probably needs insulating throughout
Thanks!
None of those things need doing immediately and it's certainly a lovely house. I'd start at at £175k.0 -
The one next door's on the market at £179.95k. Not as large, or with as much potential, though. (Corrected)

Sorry, I may have been viewing its previous sale price on the sold data. I had a few distractions at the time, like an imminent bacon sandwich.Upsidedown_Bear wrote: »The price seems to have gone up - I can see £179 950 :think:
