After 8 months and 1 failed sale I found a buyer and then looked around for a house I liked having lost the one I originally wanted. Found one, ticks most of the boxes, (although a tad smaller than ideal maybe). The sellers have done loads of work on it, but because they bought at the wrong time it is now worth less than what they paid plus what they must have spent, iyswim. They refused my first offer, and we settled on slightly under the asking price. It had only been on the market a couple of weeks, and several other houses in the area had been snapped up in the time mine was on the market.
The local surveyor came back saying it was only worth my original offer (8k difference). I'm now waiting for the building society valuation.
If the building society valuer agrees should I reduce my offer, or go ahead knowing I am paying over the odds? I really need to move asap.
