It has taken almost a year to find a buyer for our house, but things seem to be progressing well. The house we want to buy is a detached Victorian with loads of original features and we just love it.
Our offer of 370 was accepted, the surveyor has just valued it at 355 in its current state and 360 if some damp is sorted out. The vendor doesn't want to drop the price, in fact is refusing despite the fact that there is a retention of 5 grand on our mortgage.
I think my husband still wants to go ahead and buy it anyway but I'm not sure, the vendor is saying that he will just rent the property out again so I don't think even calling his bluff and threatening to pull out would work.
Are we mad to go ahead and buy it still for 370?
