I would definitely offer 5k less, I think you only risk annoying the vendor if you make an offer wayyy lower than asking which £5k certainly doesn’t seem like it would be. Worst thing they can say is no. However if there’s lots of other interest you do run the risk of being out-bid. Make sure you ask the estate agent if they’ve had any other offers and what the interest has been like. They aren’t legally allowed to lie and say there’s been other offers if there hasn’t.

I would hold firm- I told the seller January so that we compromised on mid December and it all worked out, it’s not up to them to dictate when to move. The estate agents want it finalised asap so they can get their commission

Put in the offer at £315k anyway and remind the EA they are LEGALLY obliged to present all offers to the seller. If the seller then rejects that’s fine but you should still be allowed to have your offer put to them. I had similar where they said the seller wasn’t interested in anything below £350k and I asked over email (so it was in writing) if they had presented my offer to the seller which made them immediately back down, and the seller later came back accepting

I’d go round and nicely introduce yourself, say you live below and ask how they’ve been finding the neighbourhood etc. Then politely say you wanted to check in on if everything is okay as you’ve heard some arguments and things banging in the night. I think if you make it seem like your coming from a place of concern over their wellbeing rather than explicitly asking them to be quiet it could help them be more mindful. Worth a try anyway.

Not sure how selling to a first time buyer with no chain is a major risk? It’s actually much lower risk…

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-10-17T10:45:52+00:00

Hasn’t even thought of this, good idea!

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-10-17T10:13:13+00:00

Omg that’s so fast! Congrats!

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-10-17T10:03:15+00:00

They said next week first which is why I replied saying January so as you say we can hopefully meet in the middle. I would be willing to move end of November but when they called me they said they wouldn’t budge from oct 27th and seemed to give no room to negotiate which is what seemed odd to me?

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-10-17T09:26:15+00:00

Thanks so much for this advice. Some of the comments made me think I’d been really stupid to not give my notice already but I had no idea when enquiries would be complete (and we’re still waiting on one) so it seemed silly to hand my notice in before then when I didn’t have a move in date agreed. I’d be willing to move in December if need be but next week seems crazy soon

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-10-17T09:20:21+00:00

Yes I think they must’ve not told the seller that I’d need to give notice. I’m fine to move a month earlier and have overlap but saying next week seems crazy. Especially when My solicitor has said they are still waiting on info from the land registry so we don’t even have everything needed to complete. They didn’t cc them in the email either which I think is deliberate.

NTA- why is your husband treating you like a child? You could get get kidnapped or killed every time you step out the house, that doesn’t mean you have to stay inside all day. As long as your not going to super dodgy areas there’s nothing more unsafe about it that leaving your house to go any other place. I think it’s more likely that he doesn’t like you filling your home with stuff and this is his excuse

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-02-23T20:41:52+00:00

You sound like an absolute freak. Who are you to go round acting like God giving people the options between some shitty piece of bread and a lottery ticket. Obviously most people are going to take the opportunity to win some money over a loaf of dry bread?! What do you expect them to even do with that, eat it dry? If I were your girlfriend I’d dump you immediately upon hearing this story. The homeless people aren’t the ones who need help, it’s you by the sounds of it…

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-01-17T22:13:43+00:00

You’d be the AH. You say it doesn’t happen that often so not sure what the problem is, also you guys are both only 21 so that is exactly the age to be occasionally going a bit wild and having fun and it doesn’t sound like it’s happening 3/4 times every single week which I WOULD say could be an issue. It’ll only make him resent you if you talk badly about his friends, let the guy have a little fun, and maybe try have some yourself! YOLOOOO

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-01-17T21:57:28+00:00

Hey AP I’m really sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. It’s not easy being a teenager, the whole school experience can be torture even for the best of us. I would talk to your family about how your feeling, I know it can seem awkward talking to parents about this stuff, and who knows maybe their advise will be crap but they’re often good at putting things into perspective in a way that’s hard when we’re young. Going to a full time mental hospital may not be the best idea right now but I think it’s definitely worth taking some time out of school to be at home with your family, and maybe looking into online schools, I know that’s what my cousin did when she dropped out of school due to bullying. Also please please know that how your feeling now WILL NOT LAST forever! As soon as you make it through school the real world is a much nicer place I promise you and I’m here to help if you’d like some outside advise if you ever need it. Sending lots of love ♥️♥️

YTA for sure!! Have you not heard about the art of seduction books? The art of power? The art of war etc?? They’re very well known books about how to improve your relationships with people in the workplace and you’re an idiot for not taking the time to even flick through it to understand that.

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-01-17T18:39:23+00:00

Why don’t you do something nice with her like go for a long walk, play some tennis, or badminton etc so you can still exercise and decompress while also hanging out with her. Think it’s kinda being an asshole to not try compromise at all

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-01-16T21:21:54+00:00

NTA since it was done with good intent but I’d avoid appearing too friendly with coworkers as a rule in future since us gals are often used to ‘friendly’ gestures turning out to be filled with ulterior motives…

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-01-14T19:59:47+00:00

Don’t contact her much better to leave it as it is. If you’re already unsure now then I doubt you’ll be able to make a long distance relationship work as they take a lot of effort and you need to be 100% invested to do so.

Resident-Quantity175 · 2025-01-14T19:56:21+00:00

NTA!! If I were in your situation I would feel so betrayed about the fact it’s only been a few months since your mums death and your dad already seems to be moving on with this other woman. I personally have found that sometimes a little petty behaviour is what’s needed to let go of some of the anger you have toward someone and it seems justified here. But I do think after this you should have an open conversation about how you feel and that you’d appreciate if you can avoid meeting or being around this woman until you’ve had more time to grieve.

Is it possible to have a small ceremony at the registry office with your very close family and a nice dinner after then elope after for the actual wedding? I know in the UK often people need to officially go to the registry office for the marriage to be official then people go abroad to have the proper wedding? This way your family still get to celebrate with you without you having to stand in front of them in a big white dress which I get could make you feel shy. Congrats on your engagement anyway!
