I noticed the same thing! I recognize that sticking to the £380k is the honourable thing. So regular posters with a lot of reputation are unlikely vote on the other option. I wonder what the result might have been had it been an anonymous poll? Maybe some 'Shy Tory effect' could kick in and even out the results?0 -
Stick to the old offer of £380k48 hours have passed, interested to know what you did.Signature on holiday for two weeks0

Thanks everyone who contributed to this thread. We will stick to the original offer of £380k. My partner is not fully convinced though!0

Offer £350, see what they say.
For the sake of £5k it doesn't seem worth bothering with
I think if I was selling I would tell the agent to ignore all future correspondence from you if you did this.
I think I would expect you to be difficult to deal with and ultimately the deal would collapse.0 -
Stick to the old offer of £380kJust stick to the 380, i mean yes you could be sour faced about it and drop it to 375, but why? Yeah, dont be that person, be happy your offer was accepted , smile and say thank you, then carry on with the sale. Push your luck and drop it by 5 and frankly you open yourself up for a potentially bumpy ride with a belligerent seller that you've just rubbed their noses in it, which frankly ............:doh:,Fully paid up member of the ignore button club.If it walks like a Duck, quacks like a Duck, it's a Duck.0

Reduce it to £375kPersonally I voted for reduce but i would have reduced by more and there wasn't that option in the poll.
Absolutely nothing to do with me being new on here, regular on here, a Tory voter or anything else .... lol!
Op, now you've made your decision hope it goes smoothly and keep us updated. It's a fickle market and I'm now looking to buy with no chain but not in any rush I'm just looking interestingly at the psychology of house buying and selling!0 -

Reputation, or bias towards wanting high property prices? Many posters here are not keen on property prices being haggled down for some reason, which is surprising on a money saving site!0 -

A lot of reputation? You wanted people's votes why are you dissing those you don't agree with ?0
