True, but as a seller I'd be even more annoyed if I thought the seller agreed the property was worth £x but was offering less to try and get a bargain.jimbog said:As a seller, I would be annoyed with a buyer questioning my opinion on what my property is worth0 -
Im with a very brief email - not a phone call
Offer £500k
I personally would say the deposit 85% / 15% mortgage split. It makes you very low risk on the mortgage rather than someone going for a 90% mortgage as valuations and all that are far more relevant.So what if they think they can push you more. Only pay what you want to pay no more
good luck - update us !0 -

Ultimately the price and the fact you are chain free are all the seller will care about, but its perfectly reasonable to say you think the property is only worth £x based on looking at similar properties in the area.
After all as people on here say it's only a business transaction and every offer in business is based upon someone's opinion. Live with it and move on.0 -

With two offers on the table you need to express a serious expression of intent very quickly. At least make an opening offer. The offer is non-binding. You can book another viewing as well. As possibly that you'll either be asked to bid up or make a full and final offer.
With the other interest, and possibly more to come. The finer points are irrevelant at the current time. Keep your cards close to your chest.1
