Yeah that looks unrealistic but consider that there are two of them and they are after a £600k house. I don't know if Rogan's circumstances are average.
I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that the seller might think wait, they could just get the money, right? And then they get the memo from the ea saying the offer is reduced by £30k and they might think, I guess they just don't want the house. Which might mean it goes straight back on the market without a counter or negotiation.
For the record, I don't think they must do it or are expected to do it, just that if they don't look like they could do it or go some way to cover it, they probably won't get the house. Maybe they don't care.
Sorry if that's pompous or me trying to be an oracle.
The seller might ask what I did - people who are after a £600k house could be expected to have investments or other savings they could draw on. It's not beyond possibility. But like I said if it turns out that it would result in a shit load of financial stress then they shouldn't do it.
Hah, and I was only going for c grade wanker. This was a reaction to the notion of somehow playing 'hardball'. There is no hardball if you don't have anything to give or negotiate with.
I've had better mornings. Maybe put me on ignore?
