Ive but a bid in for a repo house with an estate agents in the UK. Ive offered £8K less than what it is on the market for but the house need a bit of work (nothing serious). There is also a electric card meter with -£500 on it which I have offered to pay and all the water, gas and elec has been off.

The boiler has been turned off for while and may need servicing. And ill need to get the gas electric and water reconnected

Is there anything I should know?
Am I missing something?

I was just looking at some flats online, a real estate agents website, and there was a tenancy application form. I’m fine with that, but there was a 200 pound fee to process the application and if it is denied, it is non refundable. Is this normal?

The new business is not totally new. Its a website where it has most of the properties listing from most estate agents and landlords all over uk. The new concept which i think is new, is to let any individual with the skills of negotiation and computer/internet to aquire listing and upload it unto this website. Not only will the staff be hunting for new property listing but any normal individual wishing to make money on commision. Ofcourse this website will also require the right marketing and finance. Please let me know your views
