Property is on market for £150,000, they will take offers but how low do we go? What kind of things could we ask to be included if they wouldn't take less than the asking price? All so new, seems like a mine field!!

If this is a "brand new" home and you are dealing with the builder...not much negotiation room...however if this an a house that is 2 or 3 yrs old depending on the condition of the property starting bids can begin $10 - $15K less than asking price. If the property is need of repair then bids can begin $15 - $20K less than asking. If they are willing to negotiate with your offer and its less than they are willing to accept they will "signback" the offer to you to increase your bid, this can happen 2 or 3 times until you either agree on price or they decide they aren't interested in dealing with you anymore.
As for what is usually to be included, the standard is fridge, stove, washer, dryer, built-in dishwasher, all existing light fixtures and sometimes the draperies. If you have a good real estate agent they will know what should be included in the offer you wish to present.

You can make and offer of 140. this way it will enable you and the seller if he/she chooses to accept the offer to furter negotioate. After both of you negotiate i would predict the price would be in the 143-144 range.
The house may look new but it can be a coverup, look closely at all the walls and celings, do you notice any cracks? any holes, plaster marks? or stains? If yes this would either mean neglect or water damage, if you do find a stain or crack on the wall, ask the seller if there was a water break. Also check the pipes, under the sink in the bathroom or kitchen or in the basement if there is one, make sure it is in good condition.
Use your sense of smell, does a room smell diffeent? maybe its mold? is the area a moist area? after you be sure the house is in good condition just simply ask the seller what he/she will leave at the house? refrid.? stove? washing machine? dryer? curtains?
Then thats it, if the seller does not take your offer, just raise it.
good luck,
Al

In no certain order: - Council tax band & fee - What are the neighbours like? - what's the realm like? (ask property agent this) - Is abode dbl glazed? - established heating questions (e.g. is gas combi boiler outfitted? - those are more effective fee effective) - what's lined contained in the sale e.g. carpets, curtains and so on - How lengthy have the owners lived there? - Why are they transferring? - If the abode has an extension, ask about it....even as became it outfitted and so on - even as became the abode outfitted? - Is it an ex-council abode? - Has the abode been burgled till now? - verify outdoors ecosystem of the valuables e.g. are there electrical energy pylons interior of attain?

Find out the surrounding area, how much is the property value, also ask if there is insurance or after sales service as new build house sometimes has few problems - plumbing, roofs etc.

you could offer 146, see how they take that, ask if they are leaving washing machine, tumble drier, cooker, curtains, carpets etc. Its surprising what people will take when they move, when my neighbour moved in next door, the old occupant had taken all the light switch surrounds and the u-bends under the kitchen and bathroom sinks!

when you go look at a house, make sure all the sinks and toilets work properly. i moved into my house and they had rigged all the toilets and sinks to work for the inspection. also, if there's wallpaper you don't like ask them to take it down. it's a pain to do but it will save you time.

Ask vendor "Do you know if anyone has ever been murdered in this house". If they have then knock at least £10k off
