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 both I didn’t think it was that cheeky an offer it’s been on for 15 weeks. 
    You should stick to your guns IMO, 14k below or just keep looking.
    I'm inclined to agree. I think the offer is justified considering how long it has been on the market.

    It also has a few things that don’t bother me as a single childless person (garden isn’t a joined to house and downstairs bathroom) but will put others off.  I don’t mind them saying no it was the estate agent calling me cheeky.  I’ve called and left the offer on the table.

    Well, you can certainly make an offer and cross your fingers, but don't have high expectations. You don't have any guns to stick to basically.

    Why are you even looking at properties above your budget? But, who knows, maybe you get extra lucky in this case. Let us know how it turns out.

    You probably shouldn`t worry too much about what the EA says or thinks, it is all just marketing tactic, best to ignore and offer what you think is a suitable amount.
