Hiya all.
I'm obsessing about losing money and it's taking over - I think about it all the time.
Bought a house recently and was so love-struck I didn't go in low enough with offer. The rule is 10 percent or more lower first, no??
I offered and paid 6 percent under. But a massive whack of stamp duty on top.
A neighbour has now made a comment about 'ALL the money I've paid for new house' and I haven't slept right since.
FWIW, the house had been on market well over a year, odd layout, very unusual and much more shabby around edges than I thought. Old boiler. Old house. pretty and quaint - I guess you'd call it 'naice'?
I can't stop thinking of the 20,000 odd I could have negotiated off had I been more savvy - and I worry someone when buying will offer me as low as 75,000 less than I paid. I feel sick with it all!
all. that. money. I am not rich, and I spent my savings on this.
Does everybody generally expect 10 percent less than they list the house for? I am shocked that I didn't think more clearly and the loss of that money is haunting me. I will never see those savings again, not even when I sell.
Have I been had here? Or driving myself crazy for no reason? how do I get on and deal?? It's making me so regretful. Maybe someone has been through similar? THanks all
