| Comment | Just bought a place last year in October as the rental market was nuts. We paid about maybe 15k (about 5%) over the home report value, but I've also heard stories from friends who were in bidding wars where houses went for over £100k the home report value - wild.
Looking back now, think my bf and I just got lucky with that 5%. Like others have mentioned, make sure you have it in clear writing from the seller, what is included in the sale i.e: appliances, any maintenance work that needs done, etc. And if it isn't, to cost all of that up as well. We had quite a few small surprises when we moved in i.e: boiler was broken. |
