Miller part ex

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone can offer any advice when trying to part ex with miller homes ?
The house I was interested is advertised as 175.995 and I needed to sell mine for 110.000. Initially the monthly repayments for the higher mortgage repayments came back too high but the sales rep said we would be able to work round this.
After 2 valuations from local estate agents I've been offered my asking price of 110.000. Are miller homes likely to knock anything off their house price? I've put an offer in of 165.000 and have been told they can't drop any lower than the advertised price of 175.000!
I've left it at that so you think miller homes will come back to me or not ? The house is dijished and ready to move in next month so I was hoping that and the fact it's coming up to their half year would work in my favour ?
Any advice would be great thank you

    Miller homes had no scope to negotiate when i was in a similar position. They offered us 10k less than we needed on a part exchange and would not budge on their price. We walked away and left them a copy of our DIP for the amount we needee togther with our phone number. Never heard a thing from them again

    Sounds like your pretty tight with your numbers. Since you're part-exchanging with them, you've got less scope for haggling with them. They don't like dropping the price as it affects the price of future sales. They're more likely to offer you incentives such as flooring, stamp duty, etc
  • So do you think they'll recontact me after I've told them 175000 too expensive ? Or is it more likely that'll be the end of it ?

    If they are selling well full price then they will just continue to sell them full price and in that, it will be the end of it for your offer(s).
