We will have to sell her parents house (valued approx £140k) and will need to get a second mortgage for the rest as we plan on keeping our current house to rent. But will be needing extra money to update the Kitchen, convert the cellar and also install a second bathroom as there is currently only 1. The current owners have been in the house for around 20 years!! I know what your saying about me "making a fool of myself" but I am relatively new at this and usually crap when it comes to negiotating. But from the advice so far feel more comfortable at putting this offer in and maybe even lower

Hi My Wife and I are looking to buy a home with her parents as her father requires constant supervision. We have seen a suitable house which is listed at £269,995. Unfortunatley we can only afford around £250k as stamp duty, upgrades, fees will make it unafordable for us above 250k. Is putting a offer in at £249,999 unreasonable as dont want to make a fool of myself making this offer to EA. The house had been on market for around 4 months. There are no new fixtures or fittings (i.e bathrooms or kitchen) and is a reasonable state though mainly left untouched for a while. Any advice appreciated.
