Would you make an offer on a new home, or do builders expect to get the asking price. We viewed a new property before Christmas which was on the market for £315,000 (we're in an expensive area!). It's still on the market for that amount, but our maximum budget is £290/295,000, so would have to offer £20,000 below asking price. We realize they may not accept such a low price, but half think it's reasonable given it's still on the market for five months and no one has bought it at the asking price and similar 20 year old properties in the area are around £265-280,000 (although we know you pay more for having everything new). There are access issues to the garden on the side and it's right on the edge of a corner, so can understand why others haven't bought it, we are prepared the work around this as the house is really good for us.
Going back to take a look over the weekend!
