Only ever bought one place and that was dirt cheap right out of uni. Now I'm looking at my first proper buy and would love to hear the different strategies used by you property owning types.
After deciding how much we'd be prepared to go up to, we're unsure if one should dispense with all the haggling and just come in with a single decent offer, or if we should consider that any seller will assume that a first offer is the opening point of negotiation only.
How do you play it... assuming it's a property you actually want and the seller has suggested they are open to offers below the asking price?
As a seller, how do you do things... have a fixed price in stone you'd take, or are you influenced by the offers you receive?
