On a slight tangent, Mrs Hammer and I would like to make an offer on a property with a wood burner - what's the best way to do this? Over the phone? By email? I'm also not sure on the etiquette of making offers. Is it fine to offer ~15% under asking on a cash-pending-sale-of-house basis, then switch to mortgage based offer if they won't take >8% under asking? This is in a market where houses aren't selling quickly and lots of stuff has multiple reductions...
