Anyone have any experience?
Earlier today Mr DB and I went to look at a house being built on the edge of a very well-to-do-village close to wear we work. Due to it's location it costs more than the equivilent somewhere not-so-posh which makes Mr DB's eyes water.
We were of the opinion the price on paper is what you need to pay. However, as we were walking back from the plot, the lady said we can negotiate the price. Another couple had paid ten grand less for their house (not sure why she was telling us this). Another couple had haggled in posh tiles throughout downstairs, an extra power shower and a landscaped garden for the asking price.
Just wondered if anyone else has done this 'negotiating' as I feel we will either sound like numpties asking for too much, or not get the best deal by asking for too little.
p.s. I read OB has been poorly, so completely understand if she isn't around to answer.
