If its early days and you are ok to risk it; retract your offer by £5K .. fuck em and their tactics.
amey-
Ha! Rly?
Thing is we like it, it's a good area - substantially better than what we've seen on the market in recent months, not massive scope for improvement (i.e. extensions) but certainly new kitchen and bathroom will up its value considerably. Great big garden, sea views blah. I think we could pass on this or retract 5k etc and not find anything for months and we really need to be out of this renting lark (2.5k rent a month is a nonsense).
We could probably get 234k cash of 240k asking. But that would be an uncomfortable stretch.
Where's Kirstie fucking Allsop when you need her.
CYOA
What's all this best and final offer bullshit?
Callback from agent just now to say the vendor likes the fact we're cash but given the interest doesn't want to take it off the market just yet for 10k under asking.
He said a decision will be made by tomorrow 12pm.
Agent asked us for 'best and final offer' this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
He didn't specify if there had actually been other offers though my inference was that there hadn't yet been any offers other than ours though one buyer was having a second viewing today.
He also hasn't said whether any of the other interested parties are cash or mortgage.
