Offering on a Property

[justin220]

Morning all.

I am currently looking to move up the ladder, an have pretty much narrowed my search down to two houses.

The higher priced one which is currently my preference, is in a better area in general, but is a bit more overlooked and in a busier street. It's a fixed price, sellers are moving to Oz.

The second choice is slightly further away from Aberdeen, but is in a quiet cul-de-sac and fairly isolated. The seller is also moving abroad. It's offers over, but £13k less than the first house.

I'm really not sure where to pitch my first offer on either. Is 10% off cheeky? I've never sold a house so not sure how it works, I wouldnt want to piss the vendor off.

My solicitor thinks there is nothing to be lost, and admits it's a buyers Market just now.

Any advice would be much appreciated

@ "fixed price"

Do some research find out how long both properties have been on the market firstly. It is a buyers market, so an offer of £10k under the asking price is certainly not going to offend the vendor.

Ah! Must stop skim reading

Still worth finding out

you can still offer less than asking price on a fixed price sale
