The other 7 properties on the development have have all been valued at the asking price, we're the only one who have used nationwide and have encountered this problem.
I don't think our credit reports could take another hit trying another lender. It's been a long 7 weeks since starting the application and I don't want to give up now.
I've asked the MA to ask the builder is he will accept £5k on top of our deposit.
How long ago were they valued though, and is your area one of those which is stagnating at the moment?0 -
I suppose with the HTB scheme people are desperate enough.
Tell them to accept the 16k reduction or walk away.0 -

According to the developer one assumes. If they have been "valued" for mortgage purposes at full price. Then the developer isn't going to offer a discount. Though I'd be surprised if there isn't a degree of smoke and mirrors going on.
What extras are in the selling price?0 -
They will have only been valued in the last couple of months as it's a new development of only 8 houses that went on the market in Feb.
No extras other than the usual kitchen and bathroom, flooring in kitchen and bathrooms, fitted wardrobes in 2 bedrooms and the front garden will be done.
We didn't want to negotiate any other extras until we knew the mortgage would be approved0
