Very low offer from buyers

lookstraightahead

I'd never amend an offer but I would probably have offered £545000 originally.

I always offer around 10% under asking and the market is really slow atm.

if you don't like the offer just say no

My son in law is selling his mother house probate. On the market in Kent for £600,000. Recently reduced to £585,000. They have a buyer who offer £555,000, low offer but they decide to accept as it will 1 yr since house has been empty. Now the buyer wants another £10,000 without even a survey been done. I told him to say no. The buyers know they are desperate to sell but not that low. His older brother is keen to sell.

How many other offers did they get?

Reply thank you for your kind offer, but not at that price.

Alternative, the hard-ball approach, "Oh, didn't realise the price was flexible - it's now £10k higher..."

Very little to be gained by doing that, a serious buyer will just laugh and walk away.
