Without more information all anyone here can do is guess.If it's new on the market and they've priced it low to get people bidding against each other it could go for £500k.If it's been over-valued by the agent and on the market for a while they might accept £350k.2

Or offer above the guide price if it is worth it to you and you think it will be to others too.
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

£400,000 & risk having to make offer over guide price if other offersNo reason for the vendors to stop viewings if there's a number of interested parties. Go low to register an interest and not show your hand, or go much higher and make a knock out bid. Offering guide potentially leaves you in no mans land.0
