Hi. First time buyer, appreciate some advice.

Saw a property we like, listed for £450k. It's been on the market just under 3 months. It's had one offer in first week, which was rejected by seller - I don't know amount.

We've recently offered £423k (6% under asking), which was rejected. According to agenct, seller looking for close to asking price.

Given that it's been on for a while, we're in a buyers market, and heading into post-summer period...couple of queries :

  1. The asking price is overpriced right?
  2. How should I approach negotiations?

Thanks in advance.
