How much of an offer would you expect someone to take on a new to market house?

We have seen a house we really like but it's only been on 2weeks. Asking price is 735k, we offered 705k but she turned us down. She had said she wants 730 which we think is too much. We are chain free as we sold our house and are currently living in a small 2bed which we own but usually rent out. It's nowhere near big enough and I'm desperate to find something.

Would you say it's reasonable for her to hold out as it's new to the market? DH thinks that even 705 was too much but I really like the house, want to be moved and am still feeling nervous as our previous purchase fell through the day before exchange as the vendor decided he was selling too cheaply and wanted more, DH said no and they withdrew the house from the market.

I could do with some objective opinions please.

No, this is actually the perfect time to buy this It is on the market for £20,000. It will probably need £100,000 to refurbish the house, the outhouse and the pier it is part built on..... But, boy, I want it!

Other problem is we need to apply for school for DD in October. No way I want her to go to catchment school for house we're living in at the moment.
