Have been looking at a 5 bed new build on at 358000. They've offered to part ex ours for 135 and throw in:
Carpets
Tiling
Turf
Stamp duty 7700
1000 legal fees
6 k off price
Our neighbours had theirs valued recently, exact same house as ours, at 175. While I don't think that is realistic, 135 seems low to me (I think the valuation is based on selling on 6 week period).
They're offering carpets and stamp duty on other properties on the site so not just to us. All in their offer is about 152 if you take into account the discount and not having to pay estate agents. It also seems pretty stress free. But I worry re a new build depreciating the minute you buy. Is it worth going back to them again to haggle? (We've been back once and they took extra £1k off price). What do you think?
Do new builds depreciate lots? Never bought one before, help please!!
