The vendor already knows how much next door went for. What is PropertyLog saying about price reductions now, not 3 months ago (which was the end of the SD frenzy)george4064 said:
The agreed price is £650k, neighbouring property sold for £640k in June 2021.steve866 said:What is the properly value for context? £10k seems like a small difference for a 4 bed in the SE.The estate agent would probably better at managing this than the solicitor and providing the contract etc.Their offer probably went in 6months+ before yours, prices have risen.
@Thrugelmir Surely we should justify it, as the vendor will find it extremely odd if we revise our offer down for no reason!?You can only ask. No need to justify as the vendor won't be interested in your reasoning.0
