So, made an offer on a different flat with a different EA after foxtons didn't manage our last offer very well (they actually came back to us this week to ask if we'd still be interested if our offer was accepted, but it's put us off that property now).
Anyway offered 10% under asking again with a view to hopefully settling on 8% under asking. This is on the basis that we know nobody else has even viewed the flat since it went on the market in October. 10% under was declined so I made it clear that 8% under was our max.
Anyway, it seems to have caught the seller attention as he has come back with a counter offer of 6% under asking. I still feel that's a bit high, but I can see where this is going. It's very obvious he's hoping to meet in the middle.
So here's the thing. Given we know nobody has looked at it since it went on the market, do we hold our ground on the 8% under offer? We could prob meet in the middle but it's right at the upper end of our budget.
