Edwardian detached in lovely large village/small town, on for £685k.
Owners bought for £645k in 2006. Have done nothing to improve or even maintain it.
Their last sale fell through at the last minute and they are keen to move as they have built a new house nearby.
I went with a builder today and it needs around £30k of work (re-wire, redecorate, roof repairs, new windows (lots of them and they are HUGE).
We are chain free, have mortgage offer in principle, husband is solicitor and conveyancing will be in-house and fast. Searches are fast here too, we reckon we could exchange and complete on same day, in about two weeks time.
Our position is strong, theirs isn't, so much. I can't believe house us worth more than they paid especially as they haven't maintained it (they've hardly even cleaned it!), we need to do the work!
So, how much to offer and tactics, please??
