well since our wonderfull home we wanted for renovation has fallen through (they want more money so its not worth it for us) we have found another house which were very interested in however as our first property was a new build we have never negoiated to purchase before so just really wondering how we shoudl go in. here is the criteria :
Not been on the market long (about a month) and not reduced so far
Purchased Feb 2004 for £78500
2 bed mid terrace
Asking price £130000
Our position is effectivly FTB as old mort paid off and living with parents at present so no chain

The price in February 2004 is totally irrelevant.
The fact you have finance available and no chain is not.
What area of the country are you looking to buy? That may be relevant.Been away for a while.0 -
Why is it beng sold? BTLer leaving the market? Person upgrading? Person unable to make the payments????
Find out the history behind the house to work out how much you can force them down on the price.Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0
