time_and_tide Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Depends on the offer. -50% of asking price sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargelyIgnorant Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 just put an offer in on a 5 bed in woking are we nuts in the current climate ? No, of course not. Buying a house now at the start of a credit crunch, at what looks like the top of the market is obviously negated by the fact that properdee only ever goes up. I'm sure that everyone on a website called housepricecrash.co.uk will agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that everyone on a website called housepricecrash.co.uk will agree. how long do you think this credit crunch is going to last for? the banks need each other- it only takes a couple of banks to do business with each other and it'll be back to normal GB could take IR down which could start another boom- lets face it the NR fiasco could have gone a lot better for the bears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.steve Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 just put an offer in on a 5 bed in woking are we nuts in the current climate ? Droll troll. Actually, I think making offers on this kind of property is a great idea. Some have suggested at half asking price - but I think they are being overly generous. I hereby provisionally offer £250 plus the price of 5 economy class airline tickets to any destination the owners choose (one per bedroom). I will leave it up to the vendors to pick somewhere that doesn't (yet) have extradition treaties for debtors and tax evasion. I will reimburse the cost of two full-surveys (to be completed by surveyors of my choosing - a HIP is *not* sufficient) subject to there being no substantial structural problems with the property. I am in a position to complete quickly, if necessary, I've a friend who does conveyancing on speed dial. It would make a nice Xmas present for my sister (who rents near there) don't you think?

westlondon guy Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) lol im guessing the only plums and fools are the ones who wished they had bought property a few years back hey i said i put an offer in offers can be withdrawn too it`s a nice house though i would prefer to lose some cash than pay a landlord rent Edited September 27, 2007 by westlondon guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Oldie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 carer ? who knows paying cash Why do I get the impression that you are not looking for advice? Rather bragging that you can afford to buy a £600K house for cash, it takes all sorts.... . lol im guessing the only plums and fools are the ones who wished they had bought property a few years back hey i said i put an offer in offers can be withdrawn too it`s a nice house though i would prefer to lose some cash than pay a landlord rent If you continue to post like a troll, you will be treated like one .

A.steve Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 what price bracket are we talking about for a 5 bed in woking? if you dont mind me asking When I last visited the area around Wokingham, I looked at houses... it is pleasant. Not far from Wokingham (in a cheaper area) my sisters' landlords' house is 5 bed; has no garage... but parking for half a dozen cars... built in brick with little attention to detail... a functional rather than decadent house. I understand, on the grapevine, that it was valued at about £750K for mortgage purposes. The surroundings are OK - but you can hear the dual-carriageway... the local pub is awful - and I couldn't find a local restaurant. Wokingham proper sells at a premium.
