Keep in mind too, that if there are other people interested that once one offer comes in, the agent will call in all other interested parties to put in offers too, so you may not have the luxury of being the only people negotiating? Depends where it is and the situation I guess, we were lucky that nobody else was involved and were able to go in low (well under their listed price which was just over 10%) but if others were involved we wouldn't have taken that risk.
Thanks everyone. I think we would negotiate the additional "stuff" as part of the overall price, not after the sale. The property has been on the market three months, and I think the agent said he has only shown one, maybe two (damn goldfish memory!) other parties through the property. And that other party has to sell their property in Melbourne first, a property which has some "issue" in being sold easily, so isn't really a serious contender for the mean time.
I have been googling this property this morning, and came across it for sale/sold last November and December. I don't know if that means it was for sale and they took it off the market for some reason, but it seems to have bene for sale a whole lot longer than three months! Hopefully that will work in our favour too.
