    He did say it was rented. For what's it worth I think it probably is overprice as its been on market for a long time but without knowing more I couldn't guess by how much.


    Rented two years ago yes, not now.

    Even so it doesn't mean he is desperate to sell

    You or th OP can offer what you like but that doesn't mean it will be accepted and your offer is just based on a figure you plucked of the air.

    The person trying to sell has been struggling to sell for years. What bit of the jigsaw are you missing?

    If you want to sell a house you eventually have to accept someone`s offer, and the house is only worth what someone will pay for it. Very very simple logic.

    This house has been trying to sell for a long time though, that usually means there is something wrong with it or it is overpriced, they are not lining up to buy this house.

    Not in the slightest. The OP already said it was a rural house. Houses in my rural area are pretty damn slow to shift unless they are pretty exceptional. 1 yr on the market is nothing, 2 is nothing to be concerned about.
