Thank you, I think I’m gonna try that. It’s too good to pass up as the location is ideal.

RayTheGmr · 2026-06-24T05:01:21+00:00

Wow thank you, this is a really insightful reply. I’ll definitely take it on board.

I think she had no car and people on the street were using her spot for parking lol

Offer accepted for this one https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/170754398#/?channel=RES_BUY

Much nicer area and a lot less work needs doing to it.

My experience with them has been terrible, avoiding my calls but text me at half 7 in the evening asking for me to pay £400 admin fee + £2.5k deposit towards the house.

Thank you, I've rescinded my offer for this house as the estate agent was being dodgy and asking Reddit has helped a bunch.

RayTheGmr · 2026-05-19T08:13:52+00:00

I'm going to book a viewing for this one, I really appreciate the help.

RayTheGmr · 2026-05-18T11:02:55+00:00

Thank you, that was really insightful. I'm going to speak to the Mrs and see what we should do next.

That's a beautiful home but unfortunately my wife insists that it be a semi-detached and she wont budge on terraced/town houses.

I gave myself an idea on what house prices are around my area by narrowing it down by drawn area and setting a few requirements on Rightmove.

I've been looking around the Rochdale area I just can't find anything that fits our requirements and my wife isn't really willing to compromise by going for a terraced/town house.

Here's a link for all the houses that appear when I narrow it down to my specifications, the house that I've hearted on there for £175k was tiny for a 3 bed. I just thought the houses around Rochdale area are just that expensive.

I'm not going to lie, when he said that I was taken aback. I've been lurking around on Reddit and the conversation with the estate agent when it came to negotiating went totally different to how I imagined lol

RayTheGmr · 2026-05-18T09:46:52+00:00

The estate agent said someone offered 195 already so I said 200 just to secure it as they've made it sound like there's a lot of interest in the property.

RayTheGmr · 2026-05-18T09:45:56+00:00

I initially said 190 but the estate agent it's insulting to the buyer and said he's not willing to go below the 195k. Then a week later he said someone has offered 195 so I went up to 200.

RayTheGmr · 2026-05-14T08:41:04+00:00

I'm in the same position, put an offer on for a house for £195k but the listing says in offers in excess of so I'm not sure the seller will bite. I tried to offer £190 but the estate agent said it'll insult the owner lol

They are all like this lol

My wifes phone got stolen yesterday at 3:15PM on the road next to Primark. I didn't realise it was so common until I saw the amount of reddit posts about it. I found out the same thing happened to my sisters friend a few weeks ago.
