Hi,
Just one point I would like to make and have made it before - It is a home you are buying, everyone's talking about negative equity and afraid that there is house is going to be worth less if they bite the bullet now in a few month's time. If you are buying a home I presume you are going to be there for the next 5 to 10 years so if it ticks all the boxes that suit you and if you get it less than the asking price why not go for it.

As a matter of interest, how long would it take to get from Navan to the city centre for 9.00 am and how long would the return trip take leaving at 5.30 pm. I know Meath on Track is pushing for a rail link, but even with the best will in the world, and unlimited funding, that's not going to be a reality for 10 years or more.

The OP can offer any amount he wants to, but if hes not willing to bargain with the vendor/ea than why is bothering to a bid in at all? The vendor could be like me, i wouldn't take 1% below my asking price.
I am willing to bargain, if the estate agent had have said the vendors would need more than my original offer and hinted at I price I would have considered upping my offer after a week or so, but after the way he dealt with me I'm in two minds.
I doubt he even put mo offer forward to the vendors.
EA's should know this and not get the strop.
Are you saying I was being stroppy?
Camry,
I agree with you in principle that you need to start low in negotiations, but what some people are not grasping is that negotiations can mean the price will shift up a bit. I can't understand those who say go in very low and if they don't accept it go in lower again, it really doesnt work. I wish more people would actually try and insult me with offers because once an offer and any offer is on the table i can start to really earn my keep. Alot of people really won't put in a low offer because of embarrassment which I don't understand.
If you go low thats well and good but do allow from some upward movement.

Agreed. Boxed up means major debt!

iguna - you sound like a rock of sense. The entire buying population is in the same boat so why not try €30k below instead. And I'll give you even money that you will be successful.
