Hope Sparkyhub is battling through his hangover to help out today.
Thanks Fly Away He has just had hair of the dog and is feeling poorly. He is pretty shocked about how well I am feeling. Glad you got the hug.

Good for you- they need an earful.

We've had an offer

But it's below what we wanted

so need to do a lot of talking and thinking this evening with OH.

£7,000 below asking price... and we'd already reduced by £5,000. hmmm

congratulations...if you can afford it I say take it. We reduced by 10k and took offer 5k under that. Despite only being on market 2 weeks.


But we are still lucky to come away ok.

What price getting away?

seriously think about it guys

oh we are seriously considering it... want to see if there is any possible movement on their side first though, espeically considering they are first time buyers and want us to leave all our appliances in the house.

EA spoke to my OH, and said they were going to find out (somehow) if they would be able to go higher. I don't really know i've only had a v rushed conversation with OH as we're both working today.

Oh well done hun See if you can squeeze a bit more out of your buyers before agreeing
My EA just rung me (shock!!!) and said she has just spoken to the woman and she said 'oh hasn't my husband rung you back yet?!!'
EA isn't sure what he is going to say though
So my EA is trying to ring the bloke every 10 mins until he answers to get a def answer for us!!!

Great news, I would aks them to meet you half way (up it by 3,500) and see what they say, or you could always say they can have the house for that price but say they will have to buy everything else seperate!!!!
Good luck and fingers crossed for you

WOOHOO!!! well done!!

I'd say the same as the others, try and squeeze a bit more out of them and if you can't, accept it.

Sounds VERY promising! I hate those couples who just don't seem to be able to get their act together - why the **** couldn't the wife tell the EA????

Hope your EA was very apologetic and is no making superhuman efforts to make up for it.

Cheeky. Why don't you try negotiating a price separately for your appliances. Could be worth a try.

Come on now, this just isn't fair!!!

OH is outside with a guy who is looking at one of our cars. He knows our situ and is willing to let us keep it until the last minute. He's a good mate of next door, who says that he's genuine.

The other car...well that's a different story.
