We must have been the first to view our house and it was such a relief to finally find somewhere which ticked all the boxes. It's a hard process and tied to many emotions, therefore we went in at the asking price. In hindsight we wished we went in 5-10% under and negotiated up*, but I think we just wanted the whole process to be over. Estate Agents know this and know how much peace of mind is worth.
*There was nothing actually wrong with the house and we got lucky only using the automated/desktop valuation with the bank.
