What percentage of home offers are accepted?

22% of sellers would accept an offer that is 5% under the asking price only if the buyer wasn’t part of a property chain with a mortgage in place, according to research by Clear Score. Another 52% of sellers would consider taking a lower offer, meaning you do have a good chance if you argue your case.

Should I do my own house viewings?

Your estate agent should always be the one to conduct the first viewing on your home. They are the expert in selling houses. And it’s what you’re paying for in the commission fee.

Do I accept the first offer on my house?

It is normal practice for buyers to offer 5-10% less than the advertised asking price so don’t be surprised if initial offers are a little low. There is no need to accept or reject an offer straightaway, it is perfectly normal to think things over for a day or two.
