Buying Off Plan - Barn Conversion

Posts: 4 Newbie
Hello MSE contributors,
I'm hoping you might be able to give me a bit of advice on buying off plan - but not a new build on an estate. It is a barn conversion on some ex-farm land which is being converted into 4 properties.
Relatively simple question - the property is listed at a price, should I be making an offer or are builds of this type often that the price is the price?
I will also be making this enquiry with the estate agent and owner - however they're more than likely going to tell me that indeed the price, is the price.
I'm asking for two reasons as the chap we're buying off would be our neighbour and I don't want to cause any issues immediately before even buying, and I also don't want to miss an opportunity to save any costs I can.
Thanks for taking time to read this!

It's fine to offer lower.
There's no such thing as the price being the price.
This is going to be a small developer. Make sure their work is good!Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
