I'm currently looking to buy a horse and have found some to look at- at last!
My only real question is what to offer price wise when it stated ONO?

Is there a percentage guideline that you can try to offer below asking price or is this just with buying houses!?? :o

General tips with how to play it when making an offer as i'm a newbie to this and don't want to offend anyone or look stupid!!

how exciting!! :)

i offered 400 under the asking price and it was accepted. there isnt really a percentage, but i would say dont take the mick but it is a buyers market at the moment, so i would offer less and be willing to go up to a certain amount :D
 
What have they asked? Offer as little as possible it's a buyers market! If it's 2500 eg I would offer 1800 and def not pay more than 2200. You have to be confident and a bit cheeky lol. I've bought quite a few so I'm terrible, so rude haha!
 
I think a 10% below asking price offer or around that is fair, sometimes the sellers will be open to dropping more but you do get a feel for what they want. If they are too open to negotiating there may be a reason :eek:

I always like to say the horse is a bit over budget, even if it is not, rather than give reasons for trying to get the price down.If I dont like something about the horse and give that as a reason for wanting it cheaper I feel it comes across as being negative and can put off genuine sellers that want the best for their horse. I hope that makes sense:)
 
You could ask them what their bottom line is & see how much they drop. As a prospective purchaser if you go to see & try a horse your bottom line is how much it's worth to you. You might find exactly what you want at the asking price.
