Nice 2 bed house, has been on the market for a couple of months. Asking price £189,950. Bit pricey, but nice house.

I put in an offer for £178,000. Owner called back in 2hrs - seems happy to negotiate, but said they'd like to get £185,000.

In the world of house price negotiation, is this a reasonable agreement? Should I offer a bit lower and how much lower?

Cheers!

i know absolutely nothing about the stock market, but i would like to buy a few shares of some companies and see what happens, i don't want to spend a huge amount of money and i really don't want to get involved with a stock broker.

so can i buy and sell shares without a stock broker?

Hi, I have just got a credit card last week and I bought something from Topman on the Wednesday, and took it back the next day, my card doesn't offer internet banking, so I called today to ask if the money had been refunded and they said yes it went through on Thursday but the balances don't seem to add up, and I also thought a crdit card refund never went through straight away??

So I am in college in California. I am living with 7 of my friends that i lived in the dorms with last year. yea 7 is alot of people to live with, but its a 7 bedroom house and its cheap to live like that. our landlord owns like 100 houses so he doesnt really care about them individually. We have payed two months rent so far to a website he makes us pay at. and now he said its mandatory for us to all pay from the same bank account in one big check, no one wants to use their bank account to pay cause no one wants to go hunt down the other tennants to make them pay, this is a disaster. what are our options? I do not know the other tennants well enough to trust that they will pay on-time and we are going to have a late fee every month now. currently all the renters pay seperate, cause we are all on the lease to pay the individual rent for our room. the late fee is $100 if you pay late. if this is too confusing please ask questions. I can provide more info. Thanks!

I was wondering if people who do animal rescues on their own and not through an agency could deduct their spendings (vet bills, food, supplies, etc) on their taxes or are they eating all the costs?

I'm new to mail delivery. I sent out a regular envelope containing 2 pieces of regular plain paper in a mail box near a post office. I was wondering how long it will take to be delivered from California to Virginia. Also, I just put 2- 37 cent stamps on the envelope. Will that cover the cost of delivery? Also, I did not use priority mail or anything I just put my envelope with 2 stamps in the mail bin.

Thanks

Does anyone know how employers can inquire into our work history? and when they do can they see when we worked, and in what circumstances we left?

I'm trying to do a complete resume and I need to know that information exactly, is there anyway I can get that information?

My landlord and I are in a dispute. He agreed to have me pay him an extra 50 bucks a month to catch up on the past due balance. However,today he insulted my wife and said that we had to pay him 2 rents by the end of the month, or get out. I understand that he is frustrated, but I am trying to rectify the situation, but this is unacceptable to him.What are my rights? He threatned to have my wages garnished. I live in Pennsylvania

I was told I can take my ex spouse to court and have their wages garnished... the thing is they live in oregon, and i live in california, will that cause conflict?

How long does one need to be employed for at a company before obtaining a loan from a bank to buy a house? I'm 23 and for the past 3 years I have been working online, but I am technically not an employee, but I do have the tax forms from past years to prove I made a sufficient income. I am going to get a "real job" once school is over.
