It needs reglazing and plastering, hence the £15000 drop in price.

Do you mean that someone will look at the price you're asking and then offer you more?

Being in Cumbria are you not rural enough to sell it to a rich townie for a second home?
I has happened to us, because it was a small village and one we intended to carry on living in week turned the higher offer down. It was a local family meeting our original asking price, and if we gazumped them it would not have made things so comfortable for us.

Maybe it's Workington, no offence but that's a right shíthole.
I suppose it makes sense in the situation where you have more than one person interested.

And make sure that when you are selling a house, the agents fee is a percentage of the selling price, not a fixed percentage of the original asking price. Got stung by CONnels of Luton on that one back in the day.

When i buy, I mentally work out the cost of doing it up, double it and then would be my highest offer so I'll offer substantially below that.
You say it needs re-glazing, at a £ grand a hole, even a two up/two down may not leave a lot of change from £10K, add in the plastering (and therefore the redecorating and the re-carpeting etc) without knowing what was involved I think your £15k off may not be close to enough

No. Someone offers asking price. Someone else really wants it so offers more.

I think I did actually do that when I bought my house. I was tricked by the estate agent who told me that there'd been an offer over the asking price, but omitted to tell me that the off had subsequently been withdrawn. So I put an offer in above the offer that I thought was still in the table! Doh!
Yep, that is the way the London market works...... the shortage of properties esp 1/2 bedders is such that a mini auction starts on every one.
The one D1 bought, was viewing on Saturday.
Offers closed monday lunchtime with at least half a dozen at asking price.
Best and final offers by tuesday lunchtime
Purchase confirmed Wednesday lunchtime.
Checking on Nethouseprices post purchase confirmed we were at the going rate, nothing similar has sold for less since.
