Question about gas boiler

tsb

The buyers are just trying it on to get a better deal for themselves.I,ve done it myself by pointing out as many bad bits as I can just to try and get the price down.Just call their bluff and stick to what price you would be happy with.A house is only worth what someone will pay for it,so the next buyer along might be willing to pay full asking price

The house is up for 160k, they've offered 143k and now 146k.
They've also said that the kitchen and bathroom need replacing, there's nothing wrong with the ones in there at the moment, just that they obv don't like them.
The survey will prob pick up some pointing at the back, but can't see all of this coming to anywhere near 14k.

This is the first offer I've had, it's been on the market for about 5 weeks now I think.
When I put it on the market I had 3 agents round, two said 160k and one 165k.

There's no chain as well as I'm moving in with girlfriend.

Got another viewer round tonight, will have a word with the agent after that.

Good to hear our resident heating experts have passed the boilers as fine Apologies for wrongly assuming you meant a standard boiler rather than a sealed water heater...will sit on my hands next time!

I'd turn the offer down as others are showing interest by viewing. But i think your in a good position that you are chain free. The estate agents would all have valued the property taking account of the condition of kitchen and bathroom and i doubt all 3 would have got it that wrong. If i were you i wouldnt take an opening offer further below the asking price than £5k (decide for yourself how far your prepared to go and stick to it) and only go lower if the buyer's survey reveals works needing to be done or if in time you find noone will even consider it.

Anyways good luck and i hope you get more offers much nearer the asking price !
