f I found something I liked via a private seller but I want to suss out if they'd lower their asking price, do I straight out ask if they'd move on price, do I offer something to see if they're interested, what's the smartest way to see if they NEED their asking vs. the NEED to sell it? It's been on the market a while so I reckon they might not be super desperate to sell but who knows how long they can sit on it, right?
If you are asking for something you need to give something. As Soul says, you can't just ask them what their lowest is - it just doesn't work like that. So you can say 'in exchange for a quick cash sale I'd offer this £ that takes in to account the nature of the sale and whatever work needs doing to the place that I've identified'
