Hi there all. Hope everyones having a good day full of positive news!
It's my first time buying and I would love to join in here if I can?...sooo there's a flat on the market since mid November last year for 775, which is way overpriced although would be absolutely lovely for us at the right price. Vendor is very very keen to leave after a break up and has a job and house to go to. We can move fast and pay cash so we offered low at 685, which was unsurprisingly rejected.
Agent told us an offer came in over the weekend for 740, but through digging we discovered its actually an offer of 725. Apparently this offer is from someone with offer on their property yet.
Since we are cash buyers and chain free we are really hoping we can somehow get the place, without over-paying for what it is but offering a fair price too!
Agent said she would keep in touch about this 740 offer that it seems doesn't exist, as the vendor would rather wait for this person to get an offer for their place than ask us to stump up some more.
Our very top potential offer is 720k, although under 710 makes a lot more sense given how much work we would want to do.
Plan right now is to call on Friday if agent hasn't been in touch to touch base and arrange to see the place for a third time early saturday morning...I feel the agent is a bit sneaky given how its played out so far so it would be brilliant to get in front of the vendor again for a chat.
And thats me. I know games are part of their job but the lies are quite disconcerting!
