Guide price on house help

Good afternoon, 
We have seen a property we like that's been on the market for a year, it's on for 290k between reduced from 325k.
Problem we have its a unique property, two houses knocked together in the country side. Anyways we are wondering what offer to put in below the asking price, thats not taking the pish but a reasonable lower price? 

Regards James

    Depends what it's worth, which none of us can tell from the asking price. Want to post a link?

    Sent you a private msg. Seems unfair to post the link to the public

    I'm not here to provide free private one-to-one advice, but I'll contribute to discussions on the forum.

    There are ALWAYS comparables to base an opinion on... You might need to adjust a bit up, a bit down for location/space/land/condition... but you can ALWAYS get some kind of ballpark.

    As far as this one goes, all we can say for certain right now is that nobody was interested at £325k, but at least one person is interested around £290k...
