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.

 That's good to know. I think our naivety played a big part in this too. The house we're selling was the first property we ever got and we never had this issue because we were first-time buyers. I can now completely understand why our offer isn't being entertained. Just hoping now that they don't accept any other offers for the next week! Thanks, everyone for your posts.boots_babe said:Until you've accepted an offer on your own property you are not proceedable, so no right minded vendor would even consider accepting any offer.0

            Hi Op
 Be open and honest with the vendor. As the amount is next to nothing in the scheme of theing I'm sure they'd go for it.0
