DH and I are buying our first house and we're putting in an offer tomorrow - first time buyers and no idea what we're doing...we've got a mortgage agreement in principle from the bank, so just need to work out what offer to make.
The house is on for 400K, only been on for a month and they've turned down one offer already (well unde asking price).
They are keen to move soon as she is due to have a baby in October, otherwise they'll take it off the market and stay till the baby is born and a few months.
It's priced higher than anything equivalent in the road but has a loft conversion and an extension so not necessarily comparable.
Where to start with the offer? Really don't want to lose the house, but obviously don't want to pay more than we have to. Any tips?
