When acting for a Client and advising on the sale of their property, I am always pleased to help with all aspects of buying their next home. This includes the negotiations on the purchase to achieve the most advantageous price, with guidance on any queries throughout the whole buying process just a telephone call away.

If my Client receives a low offer on the home they are selling, and assuming the prospective purchaser is in a strong position to proceed, before dismissing an offer as a waste of time, if requested I can often negotiate a lower price on the home to be purchased. This offer can reflect part, all, or sometimes even more than the reduction that is being asked for on the home being sold. The offer received on your own home should not be viewed in isolation. Often it is only when a price has been agreed on the next purchase that the figures involved start to make sense. Ultimately while selling for less, if buying for less the overall transaction can generally work in my Client’s favour.

There is no charge for this service, as my fees are paid out of the normal commission charged by the Estate Agent I have recommended who is selling your home.

When a prospective new home has been identified and there is uncertainty as to how much to offer to secure it, a call to me will be beneficial. As part of my service over the last few years, I have saved Clients a considerable amount of money on their next home by negotiating on their behalf with the selling Agent. When a prospective new home has been found it is often difficult to formulate what offer to make to secure the house. With over 30 years experience and my connections with Estate Agents, both locally and nationally, I can often obtain an indication on what figure is likely to be accepted. This enables an offer to be made in a more informed way with a greater chance of securing the desired home at an advantageous price.

It must be appreciated that by making an offer lower than the asking price there is the risk of losing a property if someone else makes a higher offer. The ability to proceed is crucial from the selling Agent’s point of view. Most sellers will look more favourably at an offer when the prospective purchaser is in a strong position to proceed. With a completed chain, or a cash buyer, in place for your own home, we may entice the seller to clinch a deal with an offer lower than the asking price.
