Dear SimonM,


Off topic I know but anyway, from your previous posting I can tell that you live down my end of the street (I also received an apologetic leaflet) I've recently spotted several cars cruising our street very slowly with people with laptops trying to piggyback onto unsecured wireless networks, had one on mine till I spotted him parked up. I had assumed they were just looking for free Internet access until I saw some scare mongering documentary about Internet crooks stealing all your details. My network is now tight as a badger?s wotsit. Anyway,just thought I'd be neighbourly n all, as Police 5's Shaun Taylor would say 'Keep 'em peeled'.

I had been trying to remember what that Cafe was called!!! I used to love it in there when hungover and in need of grease, but now it's "The Uplands Cafe", it just doesn't seem the same!

    • I don’t expect any seller to agree to a price reduction — most of them feel it’s like robbery. For example, I was buying a property on Darren Road. They asked for £870k, I offered £830k, they rejected it. Then I offered £840k and they accepted. Later we discovered party wall issues, so we didn’t want to proceed unless the price was reduced to £780k. The seller refused and told us we were dreaming,we immediately pulled out. In the end, the house dropped to £730k, then £670k, and I believe it eventually sold for around £670k. This is a stage every seller has to go through, so I don’t bother arguing. If it doesn’t feel right, I just walk away.
    • drop your offer price dramatically and continue, or walk away. 
    • The price isn’t as cheap as probate properties, yet the condition is basically the same as those probate houses, and most properties do not have subsidence claim history. I told the agent I was looking for a probate property, but they still ended up recommending this one to me. I don’t dislike the estate agent, I think they genuinely didn’t know! but I was indeed led into this step by step. I don’t believe the seller will lower the price, and I don’t have the time to negotiate anyway. As I said, there are many straightforward houses out there. I’ll wait to see the insurance quotation and whether the seller is willing to fix the main water drainage issue before deciding on the next step. Yes, this is something that needs to be fixed, as it’s painful to deal with TW and deal with drainage issue
