Plan

Before you offer

1. Ask the agent why the price was reduced and whether a previous sale fell through.
16 price cut(s) recorded on the listing history.
2. Set your walk-away price before viewing - above £100,000 the deal stops scoring well.
Computed by re-running the score at higher prices.
3. Treat the gap to the estimate as unproven - compare recent sold prices on the street yourself before pricing an offer around it.
On later completions, homes listed below their estimate sold at the same share of the asking price as the rest.
4. Commission a full structural survey, not a basic condition report.
The score prices market evidence, not the fabric of the building.
