How to negotiate property prices effectively?

I’m about to make an offer on a property and I’m not great at negotiating. The asking price is 1.2 crore but I think it’s worth around 95 lakhs based on comparable sales in the area.

Any tips on how to negotiate without offending the seller? What’s a reasonable starting offer?

Thank you for this! I just forwarded it to my brother who is currently house hunting.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. One thing I’d add is to always check the building’s structural integrity before buying.

One important thing to remember: always get a separate property valuation, don’t rely only on the seller’s asking price.

I’m from Sylhet and the market here is very different from Dhaka. Expat investment drives up prices significantly.

Interesting perspective. I think the market is changing though, and some of these points might not apply in all areas.

Adding to this — make sure you check the building’s fire safety compliance. Many buildings in Dhaka don’t meet standards.
