Ive just opened the paper to see an advertisement by persimmon for a house in a new development nearby, was £215k.............now reduced to £170k.

£35k dropped before you even walk in the door.

Something like that would interest me in 3-4 months time.

Was tempted at new builds Colin but we would rather live well within what we can afford than pushing ourselves.

Offer what you want mate

Start at 70k for the 95k one. They can only say no. And don't set your heart on one.

You'll need them to put a formal offer or note of interest. It might be worth asking them for their advice, they should know the local market and as they'll be wanting your business will work in your best interests....hopefully.


Since when have you needed a solicitor to make a formal offer? Also a solicitor wouldn't have any more knowledge of the local market than an Estate Agent?

This how it is meant to work under Scottish law.

Up here you contact the etstate agent, make the offer, if it's accepted you do it all formally, you can make and agree on an offer well before legal stuff though.

Estate agents i've dealt with have no knowledge at all, let alone local knowledge on houses.

I'm in Aberdeen, the majority of the estate agents here are solicitors and this is how its worked for all the properties I've bought and sold personally.

Anyway, stick an offer in - the worst they can say is no!

Ours was advertised at offers over £57,000 and we got it for £55,000

But then it is a repo and Northern Rock wanted a quick sale

Offer under the asking price, worst can happen is they say no.

When I sold my last house the guy who first bid on it offered £22k lower than the asking price.
But I can only say no so it's only cheeky if you let it be, if you know what I mean.
Depends on circumstances really, if there is any way you can make your debt lighter then try it.

I'll be doing all the decorating and that myself Jungle, would love to pay someone but furniture etc comes first..

I would happily buy something needing redecorated, or a bitr of work.. by shitehole I mean in horrible streets.

We've got our eye on a few, away to confirm mortgage etc next week so will hopefully start viewing in a week or 2.
