House near rail line

Hi, we are FTB and we've seen a house we really like the look of. It's a semi-detached 3 bed well within our budget which we've requested a viewing on. The only issue is it backs onto a mainline for trains. Commuter trains will be running all day (not sure about the night but imagine there will be some). Me and my partner…

Didn't want to start a new thread for what could be a simple answer but,
We are about to offer asking on an 'offers over' property. However, I'm thinking of going in 2-5k under to begin with but is this pointless seeing as the property only went up last Friday? I don't want to risk losing the house but at the same time don't think its's worth more than what they're asking for. It's actually quite tricky to guage whether this will even sell quickly (judging from previous sales in the area which their isn't many)

Going in £2k under seems a bit pointless. I would go in at £240k (£10k under).
