    Thanks all! I'm a rubbish haggler but this is such a big amount of money I really want to get it right. So 25% off is a good place to start?

    Note to self: don't be fooled by shiny taps and nice carpets!

    Andy Hamilton, I've pm'd you, it's the same place...

    Whats your own position, on the market, nothing to sell, under offer? How soon can you complete? Those will have a big bearing on what you can negotiate off the deal.
  • I heard £140K was a good offer for a house up for £179K, including all bells and whistles.
    Lets get this straight. Say my house is worth £100K, it drops £20K and I complain but I should not complain when I actually pay £200K via a mortgage:rolleyes:
