Depends how many other people are interested in buying the house. If your the only ones and the house has been on the market quite a long time, then call their bluff and say your final offer is 211 and if they don't accept you go looking else where.

If others are interested too though and you really want the house, then up to you if you want to go up to 215

Going up such small amounts only works to piss the vendor off. Generally it's 5k steps at a time.

If it has everything you want then just take it. Mind you, with it only being on the market a week, the vendors will know you want it as you are bartering already.

Other option is put in a final offer of 211, then go quiet for a few weeks. See if they come back to you.

Also do some homework on local house prices and sale prices using Zoopla, and Rightmove.

Been looking for a while and every time I got prepared to throw in a bid the place gets sold. So was a bit quicker than usual on this one

House prices seem about right for the area, more in the middle of what has been sold this year

I thought this!! Jesus I would have given you the £4  :laugh:

Perhaps meet in the middle and say that is your final offer. Then both of you are a winner.  :undecided:
