Hi all, seeking your thoughts on a property conundrum and where to start bidding. We're looking at a fairly niche property on the market at £975k, it’s been on for 4 months, and no offers. The property is a standout for us - the nicest we've seen - but the area isn't our top choice. We're a bit uncertain about what to offer - nothing similar has sold recently in the area. DH thinks it’s offensive to offer anything beginning with an 8. I’m not sure. What would consider offensive here, what would you consider cheeky, and what would you consider reasonable or at least borderline? Not looking for a valuation on the property, as I say it’s fairly niche so difficult to value. But if it were your property, and you believed it to be “worth” £975k - what would you be offended to be offered! We’re trying not to alienate the seller, but also trying to find the market. We said to the estate agent that we’re worried about the lack of offers, that we don’t know the market without other bidders. We would like to make a low offer to see if we can get some idea of where others see it. We don’t want to be the only bidder and start (and finish too high). Any thoughts please?
