We have been renting our house for 9 years Landlord has always been great basically let us treat it like our own decorating how we want etc we really like the house and the area is great for our daughter close to school etc
Landlord contacted us last week to say he will be putting the house on the market within the next couple of months I think he is gutted to have to but financially it is what he needs to do
We would obviously love to buy the house and save the hassle of moving we don’t have a lot of savings towards a deposit but are able to borrow a bit to make it possible to try to buy the house
Would we be unreasonable to tell him we have a budget of a certain amount that is about five thousand below the market value and ask him to allow us to buy and not put he house on the market at all?
