Considering an Offer...Thoughts?

Elise1912

I'd want to know exactly why they're dropping the price? Are they pretty desperate? I don't think a downstairs bathroom is the end of the world. If you can make it work go for it! But definitely go in with a low starting offer!

I'm staggered that so many seem to be doing this .... if you want £375-400k put it on at £400k and generate interest. At £440k I'd not even view it as I'd expect they'd want somewhere close-ish to that.

They're missing out on heaps of valid viewers.

If you did view it you would soon realise that they were joking about the price and will be lucky to get 300k, if that :rotfl:

Personal taste I suppose.


I would rule out anything on a busy road (I have 2 cats) and wouldn't like it anyway, and I would rule out downstairs bathrooms.


My ex's family used to have one. It was awful staying over at weekends and coming out the bathroom into the kitchen where his mum always seemed to be (having a bath or even using the loo). Couldn't wash my hands if doing makeup or hair or if you have spills. I am always in and out of my bathroom when getting ready.


That top floor conversion doesn't even have a sink. If you even need to wash your hands (let alone need the loo), you'll have to go down two flights. What if you're sick/ill? Do you have kids, or are you likely to have them? Who'll be up in that top floor bedroom?


Downstairs bathrooms can be quite easy with kids as it gives you a downstairs loo - but bedtimes might be a bit more difficult.


Anyway, like I said, personal taste. Others sing their praises. Definite no-no for me though. I would consider one if there was just an en-suite upstairs.

In this case decent photos make a pretty average house look way better than it is.
