Offer of asking

D3V!L · 2019-01-23 13:56:36

We've made an offer of the asking price for a house we're very interested in and the estate agent came back with they're not entertaining offers for that amount at the moment. Where do they get off putting a house on the market for X amount and refusing to entertain bidding ?? Is this normal practice ?

All very good points, however, most sellers have a minimum price they will accept, but, most sellers also want to get the maximum amount the market will pay for their property. A €50k difference in the offer you accept could reduce the mortgage on your new home by years, why on earth would you volunteer to do that?

its all about time.

Maybe in one to two years i could get the max, its all about waiting for the perfect buyer, but i don't want to wait that long.
id rather take a small hit on the price now so i can start my new life in my new house.

but that's me, others might not be in a financial position to do that
