I do read the forums - honest. - But sometimes I can't find my way around too well. No doubt this question has been asked before however .....
I am coming to DR in January to look at buying a house in the North. My question is this -
In the UK it is considered customary to "put in an offer" when buying a house. This is a most unusual practice for us Brits and probably the only time in our lives when we are ever expected to haggle over the price of anything!
Can anyone suggest a rule of thumb or am I about to accidentally insult someone?
Another question is regarding the occassional property that comes complete with a car or truck. My assumption is that these people are getting out for one reason or another and consequently are selling everything. Is it a good idea to suggest to the vendor that you will take the car off them too? Am I going to get a good deal by doing this or should I just buy a car / truck seperately?
Thanks
See you in January
