[tezestwing]

Any advice as to reputable Web Sites to visit Tez

[redcrx]

for what?

for general house purchases try www.rightmove.co.uk

[tezestwing]

redcrx thanks for the quick response red didn't realise it would need thinning down though Tez

[redcrx]

plenty of different types of property, retail, housing, industrial, by to let, auctions etc etc.

as i said, rightmove lists most estate agents listings so is comprehensive for house purchase and rentals.

[tezestwing]

thanks red very comprehensive lots to look at now .
surly you can price them down a bit mr bean ?

[redcrx]

mr bean is right, some properties are lowering their prices but there is no law saying you cant put in an offer on a property. I have an accepted offer of �246k against a house of market at �269k

[tezestwing]

that's quite a percentage red I have no doubt that the question has been asked before is there a percentage offer guide or is it based on if you dont ask you dont get to barter Tez

[redcrx]

theres no set guide tez, you just offer on a house you like and what you can afford. they vendor can decline or accept. It also depends on the position that you as buyer are in. Have you got a property to sell, is it sold, have you nothing to sell, have you got a mortgage offer in place, cash buyer etc etc

just putting feelers out at the moment red very rusty with existing house ownership not quite sure of the order of play chicken and egg syndrome I guess I have to have mine for sale first ? if it was sold with provisional completion dates would I have to move out if I dont find a property ? or is that when you are in a chain ? sorry about delay in post ,AB so slow thanks again Tez

[redcrx]

thats in a chain. If you dont move out fast when the buyers want you to then youd risk losing sale. You could always short term rent if you hadnt found anywhere to move to.

Get yours on market first, thats the best way, though we havnt managed that yet due to actual circumstances we are in.

we moved house a year ago and it was not unusual for sellers to refuse to let us view because we had not sold our own house.they felt it was a waste of time untill we had sold our own house
after we received an offer it became much easier. whether this applies now i dont know

[tezestwing]

thanks for info terence bit can of worms like.
I am beginning to get the drift Tez
