Paid ! Thanks again, did you get the house in Sheffield then?
I did, although I can't remember which one I posted about on here! There were a couple in the running, but not the one where the guy wanted stupid money, which I think I did mention.The stupid money one was this: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/108462836#/...
He's reduced it to a guide of 300-340k now. It was previously 325-350k and I offered 330/335/337 and he kept rejecting. He basically wanted 350k or very close to and I wasn't going to pay it. It's now been for sale for 9 months. So even though it says 300-340, that's only to get people to view. He has no intention of accepting anything that's not 340. And the agent kept ringing me back asking me to reconsider but I wouldn't. He lost his chance as he's greedy. The market doesn't lie. If it was up for months then it would have sold if it was priced correctly.
So instead I turned my attention to this: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/110179079#/...
And I got it. And for less than the price advertised! It's detached, has huge scope for improvement (I plan to knock the conservatory down and build backwards to the lawn in a few years time) which would add a fourth bedroom and an ensuite above and a fully extended kitchen/diner below. I imagine it's a 100k job easily, so it's not something I can do now, unfortunately.
The only downside is it's 20 minutes drive from the town centre, right on the edge of Sheffield bordering with Rotherham. But that's why you get a lot more space, etc. and more opportunity to add future value. So I think it was one of those 'meant to be' things with not getting the semi one.
Hoping I'm not tempting fate by posting this! But with any luck it should be mine shortly.
