No.. you can always sort wear and tear out. just offer £300 or £350 less0

Another option is to report the sellers to the police.3

Pay for a RICS valuation report.0

In short, based on those minor things, no i would not give lower offer.0

If they offer lower and states those reasons, I would expect the seller to say no and not entertain any further offers. Its the 'reasons' that is the issue.
Anyone can offer less, but with good reason, stating those, to any seller, would show how new to the whole house buying situation your friends are and is a good indication as to how the sale would progress..... Ie not all.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....1 -
That is just going to alienate the seller.Deleted_User said:Your best reason to make a lower offer is that house prices are about to start rolling down a gentle hill (possibly with a cliff at the end of it, although very uncertain)!0 -
Obviously they saw all of this when they made the offer. More reason why to avoid FTB over any seller. What a headache.0

Are they using a mortgage or paying cash?nekr0mantik said:powerful_Rogue said:nekr0mantik said:hi allso just a general question, if you viewed a 6 to 7 year old flat or house that you liked but you noticed the following issues:- some dents on hardwood floor- shower mixer chrome plate cosmetic damage by wrong cleaning materials (expensive mixer)- few stains on bedroom carpetwould you either put forward lower offer and if so by how much?or would you walk away?You might as well walk away, because if I was a vendor you put forward a lower offer based on those three things, I certainly wouldn't deal with you.Are you a FTB?I am helping a frend who is a FTB but yes I not owned a place before either.The shower mixer is Hansgrohe so full thing costs like £1400 haha which was surprising! So asking the question.0 -
Yes you are right, i thought they were trying to re-negotiate. However the thought is the same. If they are this panickily before they offer what will they be like throughout the process.Ath_Wat said:
