I am on team go back and renegotiate a lower offer based on the valuation
FWIW my team of one's position is if you have to renegotiate then you have to renegotiate but the seller will look dimly on it (who cares I guess) and going in 'hard ball' is not the way to do it. Or maybe it is, if you don't give a fuck about whether you get the house or not.
I guess part of the seller's job is picking a buyer who can actually pay what they've offered and they might feel a bit silly that on this they failed.

I think this is a somewhat different scenario though. It isn't the buyer that's let them down, it's the faceless bank and valuer.
