Negotiating for new build

Jenka123

We have a purchaser for our property with a completed chain of only two parties below us. We are considering purchasing a new build and I wonder if developers are willing to negotiate on price. The property is advertised at £620,000. I don't want to be greedy, but how much are they likely to reduce the house by? It has been advertised since September and we do not need a mortgage which perhaps is in our favour.

Often there is not much leeway on price, best is to go for extras such as garden landscaping, outside lights, outside tap, better kitchen, bathroom, carpets etc.
Plus check what you will get regarding sockets, switches. Is there a phone socket where you want to put the modem? Can you switch the hall light on/off from upstairs, sufficient sockets in kitchen?

Thanks for that, although I was hoping for a bargain!!! All those items do of course add up though when you have to pay out for them.
