	I'm looking at one thats on for £129k, started at £146k. I'm offering £100k-£105k as the woman wants to move out the area as all her family dont live round here anymore. Always start low. I know you can feel a bit of a cunt for doing it but you'll be surprised at what you can get. Earlier this year I negotiated the following: £189,950 down to £145,000 My mate who is a FTB negotiated a £100k flat down to £90k in his first offer!

	My house was up for £135k; I offered £100k as it was in such a piss poor state and stunk of stale fags smoke and I didn't really want it anyway; she refused. After the £100k cheeky offer, I offered £120k which I thought was more realistic, she refused but 4 weeks later came back and asked if I'd honor it, I said no hows about £115k, she said make it £117,500 and we'll deal and I said no what about £116,500 which she accepted, £18,500 under the asking and the credit crunch wasn't heard of then!

	The house I want was up for £130k. It had been on't market for a while with no offers at all, so I thought balls to it, and offered £95k :o Needless to say they said no :lol: Doesn't hurt to ask though, they can only say no :thumbs:

I'd easily go in at 90% I manage a new build flat development two identical flats sold within two weeks of each other. One person paid nearly 40k less than the first person....when I saw the lease I almost cried for them. From talking to my boss he reckons the market wont stabilise for two years now. Another occurance was our family friend went to view a house round the corner from me which was up for 280k and he jokingly offered 250k and she rang him up the next morning asking him if he would honour it? Don't ask dont get basically.. [Edited on 15-10-2008 by Fad]

	quote: Originally posted by Robbo Really? Worth a kick I guess, I just took 95% tbh Its worth going around 10% under imo. Sellers always try to push the value a little over what its really worth, so may get lucky with a lower value. Its a buyers market so no harm in trying it, they can only say no and you can make a decision from there.

	Try £128k
Cosmo	posted on 15th Oct 08 at 21:53
	Not the best of sellers to try to bargin with - they arent in a chain and needing the money and its new to the market. I'd probably go in with a lowball offer first of all to test it out, houses arent really selling that fast at the moment and you may find they want the quick sale. And if not just take it from there.

	Went to see a house the other day, really liked it. Going to see our mortgage advisor again at the weekend but wanted to know what is a 'sensible' first offer to put in? The house is up for £135k, new to the market Owner moving in with her boyfriend so no new house to buy, just pocketing the profit. Paid £75k for it 7years ago Whats an acceptable offer that you think they may take? i know its hard to say but dont want to look a cunt offering waaay too low and dont want to offer too much Been lookin at houses for over a year now and this is the 1st one that we have really liked and can afford. Any ideas? We were hoping 10%, does this seem realistic? We would then incorporate the 10% drop into our deposit so we dont have to front any cash, 'gifted deposit' scheme.
