  1. I'm very serious about buying - I have my deposit and mortgage ready, I'm just waiting for the right place at the right price. I'm not in any huge rush to buy, nothing really pressuring me to buy and I could quite easy wait out another 12-18 months for prices to drop further, but if I can get something today for a 2010 price, why not? means I can start getting on with my life in my own actual house. That flat offer only came about because there was a bigger flat in the same block as that one, but only asking for 150k. Pointed that out to the ea, who didn't seem to care. I just said good luck shifting the flat, because you wont. I was looking at flats about 2 months ago as the area I want to live in has a real lack of smaller houses for my (quite small) budget, but then I got a promotion at work (Which I count myself incredibly lucky getting at the moment) which has meant I can now suddenly afford almost twice as much as I could before... Not that I want to spend twice as much, you understand I appreciate what you're saying and understand where you're coming from, but where's the harm? They might come back and tell me "absolutely not", in which case it's no big deal, right? It's not like I have to pay to bid. But if they come back and say "well we really can't accept that, BUT if we did this and that then maybe...." well then you're getting into some dialogue with them and can maybe bang out a deal that you're both happy with.
  2. Hi all, This is my first topic so apologies if I've put this in the wrong place, but it seemed the most obvious place to put it. My question is, I've seen plenty of talk about offering cheeky amounts (or as I like to call it, dirty money), and whilst I'm certainly not adverse to making such offers (I've offered 120k on a 196k flat - rejected), I was wondering if people think you're more or less likely to have a these offers accepted on a new build, or on a house that's been on the market for a while? I realise there are a lot of factors to consider on both sides (is the new build site actually finished etc) but I just thought I'd try and get some input from other people. (for the record, I'm looking at a new build 4 bed semi that was priced at 350k when work begun, the price went down to 280k and has now dropped to 250k ("offer of the week", according to the company - ha!), and I'm considering going in at 170k) Thank you in advance for any advice/discussion
  3. Hi everyone, Been lurking on the site on and off for a couple of months now as I've only really begun to look at buying my first place. Looking to get involved with the forum, get some advice from you wise guys and gals, and (hopefully) even dole out some to others!
