Is this a cheeky offer - london

getting pressured to put an offer in by agent but I dont know if this is too cheeky at 575K because asking price is 650 which means 10% off. Its in a busy road opposite train line so I will struggle to sell it in a few years time

Do I wait for it to be reduced or go and put in offer of 575 - we cant afford more sadly - Market is dead and we are selling with no viewings or offers so also part of a chain

London prices! it is similar to my house, I'd be lucky to get £160k for mine and the area I live in has been all but taken over by BTL landlords and even they aren't buying these days.

They have a distinct look. Sparse, often with yellow accessories and that specific chair throw drape.

Oh, you live and learn, I had no clue. 😊

They've hired in furnishings for the photos, which could be a sign of desperation. Personally, I wouldn't buy this property if I was thinking of selling on in under 10 years. Do you have to be in this area?

edit to add, if the agent is pressuring you perhaps they haven't had any serious buyers. The market is exceptionally dead.

Edited

May I ask why you say they have "hired in furnishings" - what makes you say that?

opposite train l ine day and night
tiny garden
strong smells from commercial unit
Urine regularly in doorway and on street

Basically will not be easy to open windows during hot weather and depresing when leaving the house although the area is ok - Prefer to be in balham to be honest

That's your answer. You do not want to live there. I know the area. It's great to visit for restaurants and bars but you'd be better off in a flat in one of the quiet side streets.

Without viewings or offers you are not a serious buyer, and if the market is that dead the flat you want to buy is going to get cheaper anyway?

Many are not able to sell either.
