Q: Hi All
Went to a house on Sunday – a little work.
Its on the market for ￡ 315,000 ￡ 275,000 and we offered – refused so we have offered ￡ 285,000 ￡ 295,000 refused so we offered.
Vendor said he would sleep on that offer, that offer
Vendor off so we have pushed ourselves to ￡ 300,000.
Property has informed us that he has ordered them to raise the asking price of ￡ 330,000 !
It just doesnt make sense.
He has no interest in ￡ 315,000 so how is he to sell at ￡ 330,000 ?

A:Thanks for that… its our final offer anyway cos we couldnt afford to go any higher! It will be interesting to watch how long it stays at ￡330,000 for !

A:Been on the market a while then!

I would say that £300K is your final offer and is valid for 48 hours: you're not going any higher. Then walk away. Say you don't want any funny business.

It might not work, but it's better than playing a game of tag, adding £5K each time, and them coming back and demanding £330K.

I can only imagine they've increased the price because the property has been on the market a while, and they expect that the value of it has risen in line with the headlines in the paper.

A:since November 06 but during the viewing he told us he had received an offer of ￡295,000 and was sorry he didnt take it, so we thought that was a hint as to what he would accept.:confused:

---

A:How long had it been on the market for?
