    Hello

    I am currently living in the South East, but looking to move into London for a new job and I think London prices are due a strong pick up in line with the rest of the UK as a lot of people are now returning to the office.

    This garden flat overlooking Clapham Common has caught my eye:

    3 bed flat for sale in Windmill Drive, Clapham SW4 - Zoopla 

    3 beds, close to the tube station, and overlooking the common, but the issue is the price. It is a divorcing couple, and was put on at £1.65m in July, and just reduced to £1.45m but I still think its massively overpriced.

    I have a budget of £1.2m --- do you think I should open at £1m, or will that just annoy them? I hear the divorce is particularly acrimonious, so would this be a pro or a con for my offer strategy?
    Still not sold... now might be the time to go in with your cheeky £1m offer. They might be delighted to get it under offer before Christmas
    Looks like its sold: 3 bed flat for sale in Windmill Drive, Clapham SW4 - Zoopla

    Was this the OP putting in a cheeky offer before Christmas?

    London prices look like they are finally beginning to take off, so it could be a great time to buy.
