Any house riddled with cat p*iss I would be knocking at least 50 - 75k off from the start.
What, even if it was already priced 150K under comparable houses? Don't be absurd.0 -
Another factor in what you may be able to get discounted on it is whether the asking price has already dropped. In this instance it has been reduced £20k since May.

SPCome on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.0
