We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

So if the price is accurate why all the discussion?EsJay1 said:
Sorry, the house is currently priced accurately and reflects a house in good condition!davidmcn said:
You haven't told us anything about the price. If it already reflects that the property isn't in tip-top condition (and it looks like a fair amount of that ought to have been obvious on viewing), the vendors may well be of the view that it's a fair price. There's no principle that you must buy a house with no defects.EsJay1 said:Do I request the seller to reduce the price by £10k
Or maybe not it's as accurate as one might expect!Your life is too short to be unhappy 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom!0 -
