What? where? when?

Toothache · 02/11/2005 11:49

Gomez - 4 bed detached in Falkirk. They wanted oo 136k, I have offered £145k. Its really as high as I can go, and the house nextdoor was on at FP £145k, but someone sneaked the offer in before me!!

Just putting a verbal offer in just now through the EA to test the water to see if its worth my while getting a survey done and getting my Solicitor involved.

Why do I feel so sick?????

Its on Slater Hogg website, can't post links to it though for some reason!!! If you want to have a look search under Falkirk, Min 4 bedrooms, Price range 125-150k..... Its Keppock Place.

Cool. How long has it been on the market? Ensure the EA makes it clear that you can't go any higher because as a seller we are always advised to go back and ask for a tad more!

Good luck!

Oh and remember you might not get a response quickly as they will want to think about it - particularly if the offer is not what they were hoping for!

Gomez · 02/11/2005 11:57

Will have a nosey at lunchtime...

Prettybird · 02/11/2005 12:02

Good luck Toothache. Gomez' advice is good - make sure the Estate Agent is celar that really have put in your highest offer.

Could you squeeze an extra £100 or £200 if you needed to? I know when we bid for houses, we always did things like £136,155 ie, not just above a price point, but a wee bit extra just in case another bidder also chose that price point.

(Just to make you sick - that's what we paid for our 4 bed "semi" - the top half of a Victorian villa, with enormous garden in Pollokshields 6 years ago.)

PB - Yeah I probably can afford a few thousand more, but I just feel my monthly payments will be high enough!

OH GOD I'M SHAKING!!!

Think on missus how long did it take you to accept the offer made on your house?

I am presuming as a 4-bed house it invloves a couple who will need to discuss, maybe not until tonight. Go on the basis that you won't hear until tomorrow and anything else is a bonus!

Or go for a ciggie instead !

Toothache · 02/11/2005 12:40

Yeah yeah yeah I know!! But surely they could phone me back to tell me they are thinking about it!!!

Rrrrrright!

EA phoned back and said that he was looking for £150k, but he really wants to sell me his house (blah blah blah) so he'll meet me halfway at £148k.

I said.....eh.... no.... £145k is my maximum and besides NEXT DOOR was going for Fixed Price £145k and the guy was throwing in his dishwasher and fridge freezer PAL! Hmmmm.

She's going to relay that message back to him.

There is another one 3 doors down for sale for OO £136k as well. Exactly the same house. If he plays funny buggers again I'll just withdraw my offer and go after the other one.

What d'you think?

What you have decided sounds good to me.

MrsDoolittle · 02/11/2005 14:12

I think he's playing silly beggars!

Go with your plan Toothache.

They all say they really want to sell YOU the house. Err why would they care? That's what I don't understand.

sweetkitty · 02/11/2005 14:12

oh how exciting!!!

really hope you get it now

what are you going to do with all that extra room
how's the sale of yours going?

Gomez · 02/11/2005 14:14

You go get him love. Show no mercy .

Good luck.

Toothache · 02/11/2005 14:20

SK - Extra room???? More space for junk!

I'm just waiting the guy to get a survey done on our house so we can get it all finalised.
