Would welcome views on what to do on this - has this happened to anyone else? We agreed a price for a property (quite a lot lower than the asking price). We've just had the survey for the mortgage back and the surveyor's valuation is quite a bit lower again (6% below what we've agreed).
Our estate agent said it's quite normal that they are being cautious in this market and not to worry . I imagine that's becaue they don't wnat the chain to break..... but we're not happy about paying more than something is worth, especially now (even though we do love the house).
We already had to go back to the seller once before to lower our offer (after our buyers lowered their offer on our property) so are nervous about doing that again. But surely we should not pay more than it is worth? Any views?
