First time buyer, Girlfriend and I went to view a house. We actually liked the house, the area is ok not ideal to where we want, and the town is further away than we wanted ideally. About 10 miles away, not a big deal.
House price says region of 280k, estate agent said that the house is looking to sell for 290k.
I had a look around the area for similiar houses and there are two available further away again about another 10 miles in a new development of 16 houses, very very similiar (3 bedroom with garage) for 250k.
I rang the estate agent and put a bid in for the house we viewed for 265k. Thats 5.5% off 280k. The predicted adjustment in value in house prices to come.
The other issue is that there is a site of 3 acres for sale a couple of miles from where girlfriend lives, beauty place. Its another option on the cards because building through direct labour would be very cheap for us.
I phoned the estate agent and told the lady that the offer was 265k. She said that she would put that in her file, on the bidding book??
Is 265k an ok offer.
Thanks, as you can guess am new to this so experienced advice would be much obligied.
