hi,
we put in an offer on a house yesterday for 135,000, its up at £149,000. The vendor bought at the end of 2014 for £115,000.

The EA have just rung to say vendor wants minimum £145,000.

Thats our max and I feel going straight to accepting that may be silly. Parents are saying go back at 140,000 , i think offer 142,000.

ANY HELP ?!??!!

A lot has changed since 2014, they are totally kite flying IMO. Wait to see what happens after Brexit before making offers.
