The 4% difference, is securing a mortgage contingent on that? As otherwise why not go with your original offer if that’s what you felt it was worth at the time?

It’s not and so after trying to get the price down I am now back to my original offer. Except now, apparently, seller is reconsidering. Leaving me feeling like I’ve opened a whole Pandora’s box with this renegotiation. Estate agents make my brain hurt.

Buying (and selling) houses is so hard, and why I’m in the place I got a billion years ago. It was v stressful and lengthy at the time but in the long term so worthwhile, that I maybe would’ve paid over the valuation (but that’s with hindsight).

Place I’m in the process for isn’t anything special. One bed flat. Many like it around. But time and money (survey) sunk cost and I have spent 6 months living out of a tiny room. So either I get this or start over with another. But then even longer. Short term vs long term trade offs.
