I wouldn't worry about offering too low, if anything start lower!

How long has it been on the market? If it's fresh it's less likely to work than if it's been on for two months with no offers.

Fwiw, my gf and I put an offer well under asking (12%) back in Jan on a place that had been advertised for a month. Our offer came up a bit, but still under asking (6%) which was still declined. Said we didn't want it enough to pay much more, explored other options which fell through (will tell that story later maybe).
Revisited the idea a month later, saw property still live, emailed to re-offer 6% under asking and it was accepted immediately.

@ChasnotRobert
I've seen a place I'd like to make an offer on. Is an offer 6% below asking price a p*ss take, or reasonable in current market? I want to open a negotiating position that leaves somewhere to go, but doesn't cause offence.
