I haven't got my head around whether you are reducing the price because you have uncovered serious faults or because the market is falling?

The first and second reduction was due to serious faults. The third was due to significant falls in prices over the 3 months it took to get to exchange.

personally to have over 10% reduction off the price is very good, and I think you demanding more money off will mean the sellers tell you to hop on ya bike.

I seriously hope seller does tell op to hop on his bike. His attitude demonstrates exactly what is wrong in the non Scots part of the UK with the bad people in buying & selling houses. :mad:

I agree it is a business transaction but business should be done honourably and morally the same as any part of life. He certainly wouldn't be a friend or acceptable business partner of mine.

Caveat emptor for sure but he's had the survey and the requisite price reductions - in my opinion he is now just playing fast and loose. Must have too much time on his hands. The situation hasn't changed that much since October - and he's an mse-er so he is in theory up to speed with it more than most. To leave it so late in the day is reprehensible. No excuse for that kind of behaviour imho

Go get a life and do something worthwhile instead of making people's lives a misery and costing them money. Pity the seller has no comeback for time wasters!

So if prices had gone up in the last 3 months you would have offered more?

I doubt he would but maybe the seller would have gazumped him and guess what zammo would have no recourse if that would have happened. The party's over, sellers need to be more realistic, it is a buyers market now, i apologise if this upsets recent buyers who have mortgaged dangerously high and they fear they'll soon be in negative equity, i'm just saying it as i see it.

House prices are definitely on the slide.
