Reducing an offer made due to lack of extension papers

  • There is absolutely no issue here and certainly no cause to reduce the price.
  • Thank you all for taking the time to help with your responses, appreciated. I was not aware of all these details about extensions, so it seems that there is not much risk there.

    The overpaying bit, is a bit of a different topic, as it is also hard to calculate - I shouldn't have brought it into the discussion. But thank you for your viewpoints on that as well.

    That's what I use.:)

    Only problem is when people quote...

    Serious point though - when you're in the process of buying for the first time having someone constantly talking crash crash crash takes a real toll. I bought a year ago with my offer accepted the week before the brexit vote. Oh the doom and gloom that was to befall us. But here we are a year on with prices up 5% and a chunk of mortgage paid off already.
