“Mr Vendor, you have got a £590k offer. Cash. No chain. That is as close to money in the bank as you are going to get.

Now, you are holding out for an extra £10k. I get it. But let me ask you this…

Are you really prepared to risk losing £590,000 chasing an extra £10,000?

This isn’t just a negotiation anymore. It’s a game show.

You’re the contestant sitting in front of the £590k box on Deal or No Deal.

The banker’s on the phone offering you a guaranteed house move at £590k

Do you take the deal?

Or do you say ‘no deal’ and risk walking away with nothing?

Because that’s what we are talking about here. A ten grand gamble, with your entire move riding on it.”
