What to offer on £499,950 house?

Really? I would imagine this seller would just be happy to get any offer at or near their obviously daft asking price. From how the OP describes the property I think they should be offering 20% under asking, at least.eidand said:
I wouldn't expect any seller to take offers from someone who hasn't even viewed the propertyGixerKate said:Do you intend to progress to completion or are you testing the waters so to speak?
Speaking as a seller right now, its a very stressful time and having spurious offers put in doesn't go down well!
If you are truly going to go ahead with a house purchase without a viewing then fair enough but if you are not in a position to move on the offer then you shouldn't put in an offer at all. Completely understand your position concerning public transport, have you your own transport you could use or perhaps a taxi?0
