So, the context here is that we are looking to buy our first house for some months now, we viewed 40 property, made 9 offers (4 over asking price, even 20k if we really liked it) and nothing, we are the victim of these crazy times I guess!
BTW I made an offer on a maisonette in a nice village (now I am in a city) that was our max budget, 10k less than asking price. Wasn't accepted, now after a month on the market they told me that probably at the end of the week they are going to accept it.
The thing is, 3 weeks ago I had 5k more (big unexcpted expense) and my husband is starting to say that even if it's beautiful it's a maisonette in a little town, while we can have for the same price an ok-ish house in a ok-ish location in the city. I guess I can convince my husband but how can I tell the EA that I want to lower my offer? And apart from that the valutation on zoopla or move market is like 50k less? Should I trust these website? I love the maisonette but I definitely think that I will overpay it. I think this is the reason that it's still on the market after 40 days even if in that village is super hot!
What do you think? How can I play my cards with the EA?
(hope that makes sense, I don't usually write in English, sorry!)
