	a retaining wall would be holding back about 2.5 metres high and 6.5meters long, do people think it'll need two concrete blocks (Laid Down) width to hold that weight back? [Edited on 17-10-2007 by Tom J]

	Back Wall: Top of garden where i want to build hardstanding, hoping next doors would hold it in on one side View towards the back wall: View towards house from back wall:

	quote: Originally posted by C2RL R not suprised mate tbh. you have gone in 6k under asking price because of the state of the garden. people generally knock off between 2-3k so i reckon they'll accept 72.5k but you may aswell go fo 70k as you dont know how desperate they are.

	well i've offered 71K and the agents just rang and the vendor is thinking about it overnight. its been on 4 weeks and houses sell slow up these parts, this is the first offer they've had so im not going to jump in too high for the sake of it :)

	I had to wait just less then 2 weeks for mine, and thats only because i was leaving Europe at that point. Could have been longer :\|

	no bridgend is a bit expensive so its up the cymmer valley, from port talbot but its only ten minutes over the top from nantymoel
Ally	posted on 17th Oct 07 at 12:49
	Well done Tom! Dont be impatient, i had to wait 4 days for mine :P Is this in bridgend? We will be moving up there next year :D
Tom J	posted on 17th Oct 07 at 12:47
	Why won't the phone just ring :lol: Made the offer 12.10, hopefully they wont keep me waiting until tomorrrow! The house is on for £74,995, its all done out inside but the garden needs quite a bit of work to tidy it up and build a hardstanding at the top as it is quite steep so tiered. So i've offered 69k due to this and seems to be the ceiling price for the area [Edited on 18-10-2007 by Tom J]
