something clever
Which areas are you looking at? As a rule of thumb I'd start at 5% of the asking price and then add on 1% for each month its been on the market. I'd be more cheeky the higher the price.

We've just bought a 2bed hoose in central brighton. Originally on for £280,00, then was put back on the market for £275,00, we had an offer accepted of £272,000. After survey we got it down to £269,000.

Ah, see yours sounds tactical.
Mine was more like "oh crap, Mum, what should I offer?" and her playing 'hardball' whilst i wimpered like the child that I am.

We're selling a house in Bristol now, it was on the market for £240,000 and we accepted £227,000.

I think offering 5% of the asking price could be considered quite cheeky.

My missis had 3 offers within the first week of marketing her house last spring. She eventually accepted one at 5K OVER the advertised asking price.
I reckon for a house that's been on the market for 2-3 months, and if you're in a position to proceed quickly, getting an offer accepted of 90-95% of the asking price is realistic.

My Son just sold for 97% and bought for 94%. Both properties in Hove.

Sold at 98%, bought at 97% last year. We were very lucky to get anything off the asking price for the house we purchased given the lack of similar properties on offer versus demand (fortunately we had an excellent relationship with our agent, who handled both our sale and purchase). Correct agent choice cannot be underestimated.

Silly question, sorry.

If you hadn't bought it they would have sold for £125,000. Just to give you an idea.
Anyone got an idea on multiplier for borrowings nowadays? Been with my lender for 4 years, no problems, have around 12% cash deposit, + maybe 5% ish equity in my place, and was considering looking around at moving, but not sure what kind of value I am suitable for.

Good contribution. As it happens we live in a very sought after close. The reason we got the flat so cheap was because one of the owners took ill and a move was forced. No flat in our Court has sold for less than £155,000 since we moved in.
Thanks again

shirley its a house by house, area by area, agent by agent thing? some agents price more realistically, some unrealistic to get the trade, some people have already dropped and wont go any further, some areas are more popular and so the asking price is firmer than unpopular areas.
i'd look at the Land Registry prices which show prices paid about 3 months later than they occured. iirc rightmove had a link to these by postcode (zoopla too?)
