flat sold - 2.5 wks on the market, what we were asking for with a chain free buyer.
moving before crimbo and bizarely 5yrs to the day we moved in.
now in the scottish market what "deals" can be had. looking at a property of 210k, im considering going in at 202.5 with the aim of getting it for less than 205k.
but as im in a strong position and the house has been on the market for a while is offering less likely to get people annoyed???
Hey - good news. No harm in offering a few bob less if you can move in soon-ish and that suits the vendors. Where's the noo hoose?
dont want to give up the location just in case someone else sees it 😳
living in linlithgow at present and this house in mind isnt too far away -further away from mtb'ing by about 20mins but this i can deal with as it has a garage and shed (oh and 4 bed and detached which is a bit bigger than a 3 bed flat!)
we can move in 8 wks, i have already sounded out the owners estate agent to see if they could do the same and they could.
I'd be going in at 200K on the nose as if they really want to sell it they'll consider it or negotiate. You are a cash buyer with no chain, you have the power.
Where in Scotland are you looking?
barring that, go in with an "odd" number.
we've had accepted offers on 3 properties and not had to haggle any; I think the fact that you give an odd number makes them think it is your actual max and they don't squeeze too much;
eg was on market for 235, we went 231.6, job done. 400, we went 393.4, deal.
sounds really odd, so far, touch wood, has worked well for us!
