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.

Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Guide price 450, similar houses around are under offer/sold stc for 360-375. I would not offer more than 390-400. 

    Well always worth a try, the worst they will do is say no

    Hard surfaces don't tend to trap smells that much - kitchen units and windows should be fine with a good clean.
    MIL was a heavy smoker. I can assure you that, even after thorough cleaning, the kitchen units and wardrobes did smell pretty bad. Everything gets covered in a layer of tar, and it is quite a job to get rid of it. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
