Hello,

I like a house for sale in the south of England which is up for offers over £425,000. It's got great potential but not in a great state currently. We are really keen for it but have no clue what we should offer. What sort of offer is reasonable in England for offers over? £10k over? More? We are torn by not wanting to offer crazy over if it's not needed, but also don't want to take the piss and do really wanting to secure the property if possible.

Key is how long as it been on the market. There is an app you can download for right move that’s shows how long and if there’s been any price changes.

new to the market I’d start at 400.

if it’s been on the market a long time I’d start at £375k

Haha
when did you last buy a house?

You have clearly not purchased a house recently!

This is the kind of thing my parents tell me and then I end up buying nothing as I’m scared I’ll be paying too much.

I want to put an offer in on a house
It was up for 425k but was lowered to 400k recently
how much do I offer?
its the right size for us but needs gutting completely so it’s a lot of work, I don’t mind doing it but don’t want to pay more than I need to as need to keep money back for doing it up
all thoughts and advice welcome, I don’t know what to do!
thanks 😊
