What would your offer be?

[sarah13xx]

Closing date this week for a house we’d love to get. I won’t give too much away but we’re not in an area where home report values on houses are crazily high. I see a lot of people commenting online from elsewhere in the country that we get a lot of value for money where we stay. So it’s offers over £140,000, home report £150,000, three bedroom house, all very modern and ready to move in.

10% over home report would be £165,000 which I’d be happy with but I just don’t know if it’s enough to win it and I really do want this house. What would your offer be if you wanted to buy it without going overboard? 🏡

Assume you’re in Scotland?
If I really wanted the house and thought it was worth the money I’d offer the £165k to make sure I got it.

@Candleabra haha yes! I don’t know if 165 will definitely get it though, just scared someone comes in with 167 or something crazy

Roughly what area? Makes a massive difference in Scotland

@Bushkin Lanarkshire

I’d go 168,750 if you can afford it and you plan to stay long term. Is it going to closing date?

Good luck

I think it’s finding the right balance of offering what you are comfortable with but not quite at the point of regretting the amount offered at a later date!

@Fancypants2022 I think that’s it, I know there are other people in the same boat also trying to weigh up how much to go for. You don’t want to give away £5000 plus extra for no reason if you didn’t have to but you’d also kick yourself for losing out over £500 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Bushkin yes on Thursday, I think that would be a safe bet to definitely buy it, possibly quite a bit above the rest
