Property Negotiation Tips: The Easiest Way To Negotiate A Price Reduction

Imagine you are selling a property and are in the middle of house price negotiations. You receive two offers at the same level and neither will increase.

Will you choose:

  1. A buyer who seems disorganised, or
  2. The buyer who seems organised and ready to act

I am fully aware that this is not the interesting side of house price negotiations but it is vital. I have had several situations where we have had offers accepted for our members when our offers were not the highest put forward.

Indeed, even if you are not competing with another buyer, you are more likely to be able to persuade the seller to accept a lower price if you can move quickly. And remember, you want to make it as easy as possible for the estate agent to recommend your offer during the property price negotiation.

Would it be unreasonable to suggest they might be keener to do so if they can see a swift, hassle-free transaction which will help them earn their commission?

I know I bang on about this but you must also PROVE that you can do so. You would be stunned at the number of people who say they can move quickly when they are, in fact, completely disorganised. Most agents are very wary of falling into this trap.

Engaging in Property Price Negotiations

So, when you are ready to engage in house price negotiations it is vital that you have your buying team ready to act swiftly before you start looking for a property because by the time you want to make an offer it could be too late especially if you end up bidding against someone who is prepared to negotiate. It is also a good idea to be aware of the best time to buy a property in London.

Is it a good idea to run the risk of losing your ideal home or great investment simply because you haven’t made a few phone calls?
