I have two quite different agent valuations for a detached home near Nairobi. The higher proposal is obviously tempting, but comparable listings that launched ambitiously seem to have sat for roughly 28 days before reducing. I am deciding whether to test the higher figure or start closer to the...

I slightly disagree that every rejected offer is useful data. A rejection tells you something only if you record the price, conditions, timing and any feedback together. Otherwise it can tempt you to raise the next offer even though the properties or sellers are not comparable. Your own stopping...

I would separate the two decisions: first, is £858,000 acceptable given the buyer’s position and the planned market exposure? Second, is the representation arrangement sufficiently clear? Ask the agent for the proposed roles and offer-handling process in writing, then have your own solicitor...

Once the replies arrive, score only items you can verify: relevant recent comparable sales, named responsibility, response commitment, reporting frequency, viewing feedback, written offer procedure, qualification steps and completion support. Then calculate the fee under the same assumed sale...

Inspection protection still matters even though it did not cause this collapse. Keep the inspection and financing issues separate in the next negotiation. If a buyer later requests repairs or a credit, decide that on the evidence and the net offer; do not concede merely because you are worried...

The purchase figures suggest I could proceed, but the remaining cash makes me hesitate. After the deposit and estimated completion expenses on a Nairobi 2-bed detached home costing about KES 132,900,000, I expect to have KES 1,419,000 left. The inspection could still identify work needed soon...

First establish what “coastal home” means here and whether either property shares structures, services or costs. A reserve only helps if its scope, balance and contribution history are clear; otherwise it can hide future owner payments. For the detached home, assume every exterior repair is...

My offer deadline is approaching, but the 68 days on market can be read in two very different ways. It might give a buyer leverage, or it might simply reflect relisted units and differences between serviced-apartment arrangements. The Nairobi properties I am following are advertised from KES...

I would not read this as price growth yet. Asking-price movement can rise simply because January contained more expensive warehouses or fewer lower-priced listings. A price-band breakdown around SAR 1,238,000 would be useful, alongside the number of properties in each band and any completed-sale...
