History - agent phoned to say she had a property coming on the market which she valued at £250,000. When seller instructed her though he wanted it marketed at £265,000.
It's been on the market for 7 weeks and we know they had an offer in the first week of £250,000 and refused it. We are using the same agent as them for our sale, so have been able to ask what's happening with other property quite a bit and it doesn't sound like they've had as many viewings as ours and there have been no further offers.
Anyway, our original budget was £250,000, who knows whether they will accept that after this time, but fingers crossed. Hubby reckons we go in with an offer of £249,999 and say we love it, but are offering that amount as we feel that's what it's worth and won't pay any more, especially as we're then into 3% stamp duty. I thought about £248,000 with a view to upping it to £249,999 if necessary, which gives them a day or two inbetween to think about whether they could really achieve more. Which would you do?
