there is a bungalow on the market with 2 acres of land. its in a village in norfolk and i love the land and i like the area. the problem i have is the house is pretty dated and would need a fair bit to bring it up to date.
our maximum budget is £350k and thats for a house that doesnt need work,
this house was originally on for £475k but they dropped it down to £400k offers in excess of.
its first got listed in 2018 and has been on with a few estate agents now.
would i be wasting my time and very rude to offer somewhere between £325k-£345?

This might have possibilities? There is extra land and massive outbuilding.

Offer, they can only say NO.
The house is obviously over priced or it would have sold. Some people have a price idea that just can't be changed, they may have compared their house ot others that are better, or they are adding a percentage to the price the bought it for, perhaps they have an idea of the house they would like to buy and so have to gain enough to buy it or they are just are greedy.
You will loose nothing putting in the offer, perhpas they will put in a counter offer you could reach but unless you try you will never know.
