Fine. That's entirely reasonable. Their view of "close" may differ to
yours of course.

One offer I had was 20 grand below the asking price. That ain't close!

Was that £20K below the current asking price? Or a previous one?

Current.

Is it possible that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, it
might be the "value" in the current market. It's only 10% below your
asking price.

No. They were trying it on. A builder...
