Negotiating isn't just about what you'll accept, it's equally about what Le buyer will pay.
Just cos you'll accept a bit less than your price doesn't mean he won't pay more than that.
But similarly you need him to be relatively happy with the deal as he gets a couple of months while solicitors dick about to decide he's been squeezed too hard and change his mind.
If you trust the agent leave it to them, they do it all the time.

@mashton as @diable says, we are liable for the EA fees so i want them to do everything ideally
@hefty yeah, i reckon he thinks he can beat us down face to face, my wife is a haggling master (she doesn't waver from her number). Quite fancy a Speedmaster so if he is wearing one i may take it and offer an incredibly small reduction off the flat price.
@jakemcree ok i guess, not had much experience of them to compare to though.
Generally speaking we would be open to offers a few thousand lower than our asking price, but any less would hinder us buying somewhere else.
