  • every house is now listed as "offers in excess of £xxx". is this just EA BS or are places genuinely going for significantly over the stated price? this is london's famous east london.

    in my head i am imagining:

    seller - "offers over £xxx"
    buyer - "ok, offer is £xxx+ £50k"
    seller - "yeah ok then"
    buyer - "but it needs xyz doing, offer is £xxx"
    seller - "ok whatever, just don't take the piss"

    i'm the seller in this hypothetical scenario.

  • I ignore the offers over bit.
    Especially if it's been on the market a while. I just offer what I'm willing to pay based on previously sold prices in the area and how much I like it

  • You can put what ever you thinj in and they need to take it to the seller, I just got place for 15% under asking.
