its a seller market them days have gone when you can a reduction on asking price now days you get over 20k asking price.1

You say you've messaged the seller - for me, I'd avoid personal contact and go via the agents to avoid emotions clouding what is already a stressful time all round2

When I tried to get some suitable discounts from potentially motivated sellers (Cash buyer) I was told if you want to achieve those prices you need to think about going to auction. I thought that was quite a good response from the estate agent. Polite but go away.5

It's an online agent so buyer can send you messages - admittedly although it does feel a bit weird the agent came recommended by a friend. Don't think I can mention company name on the forum."achieve those prices you need to think about going to auction" - might use that one myself I get anymore silly offers :-:smile:

They're trying to undermine the OP's credibility and judgement.Sarah1Mitty2 said:Gaslight?
Incorrectly and deceptively trying to replace sound valuation.
Hoping the OP'll accept the ridiculous undervalued offer.
Totally unnecessary except for the profit-gouging would-be purchaser.
