\nIt has been on the market for some time, but I\u2019m worried about insulting the seller Q My partner and I are considering offering less than the advertised fixed price on a property in Glasgow. A month ago, the property was reduced to a fixed price of \u00a320,000 below the\u00a0value given in the home report after 12 weeks with no sale. Even with this reduction in price the property is still a bit more expensive than similar properties in the immediate area, so we would be worried about not getting our money back when we come to sell. The property has never been sold before (it was built by the current owners) so it\u2019s difficult to determine the real price. To offset our concerns about the resale value, we are considering offering less than the fixed price, but are concerned this will insult the seller and they will refuse any further offers from us.ANA Making an offer on property in Scotland is different from in the rest of the UK in that it\u2019s not just a question of a quick phone call to the seller\u2019s estate agent. Instead, you get a solicitor first to \u201cnotify your interest\u201d in the property and then to prepare a formal offer\u00a0\u2013 which he or she\u00a0signs on your behalf\u00a0\u2013 before submitting it to the seller\u2019s agents.\u00a0 Continue reading…
