What's the current average accepted offer price relative to property listing price?
95%? More, less?

I couldn't tell you, but I think looking at the market as a whole on this thing may be misleading.
It depends on so many variables that an average may not be appropriate.
Possibly look at individual agents. Some may value properties higher in order to get the business then try and get vendor to reduce price. Others are more reasonable.

Absolutely this.

6 months ago we bought our flat for £145, 000 and it was listed at £159, 000. Just to give you an idea.

We are paying a tad under 99% when we complete tomorrow. The joy of living on a major train line just outside a major city. However, the property was priced to sell quickly.

My partner's was up for a large amount, and the first offer she had, was 86% of the asking price 
Mine's just gone on the market, and I'm hoping that the offer will be within 5% of the asking price. We'll see how it goes

Mine was 98.5% last month but located within 500 metres of Brighton station, others on market I would have bid around 85-90%, so depends!

We looked into selling ours recently and the estate agent gave us a portfolio of figures which stated in Horsham the offer percentage nationally was 94% and in Horsham it was nearer 96%. Of course they could be made up by the fella in the estate agents but seemed fairly fair to me.

We bought our first house last november for around 95% of the asking price but then negotiated in quite a few bits for them to pay for as well as leaving behind quite a lot of stuff! (I assume this is normal though)

I think a lot depends on the person selling. If they need to move quickly, then cheeky offers have to be made

As others have said, depends on a lot of things. How many others like yours are for sale, how desirable is the area, how desparate are you to move etc etc

Well it was near xmas and they had 4 teenagers in a 3 bedroom house so, as first time buyers (which they were desperate for as to not add to 'the chain') we thought we'd play on the vulnerability.
Fixed.
Agents don't choose the asking price, vendors do. Each will price differently, and each will have different needs when it comes to accepting an offer. You have to do your own research on property values, and what you will pay/accept.
Paid 86% for the property we're in, but that's because it was 2008 and prices were falling. Made a similar cut of the one we sold.You putting that has quickly made me work out what the perentage was of our first offer that we made...
