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.

Thanks everyone for your replies
Getting it to 163k by the vendor is a bonus so you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Either take it or walk, the vendor was silly as I would never consider that.1 -
I was lucky having practical parents with a good experience of properties and the pitfalls when I was a FTB. There were a couple of properties I was interested in that I was convinced I should not proceed with by them.Not everyone had the knowledge (mainly from experience) or family they can rely on to turn to for in depth advice.We may think some of what has been raised is obvious but the questions are sensible (it's just the expectations need an adjustment).May you find your sister soon Helli.
