Chapter 385

"The seller of this house asks for 1200 pounds, but I think it can be negotiated. If this house is not the seller's family and wants to raise money to buy a big manor in the countryside, it will basically be handed down as a family asset and will not be sold from generation to generation!" Sensing that the "Mr. Warren" had some feelings about the house, Mr. Harland, the housing agent, said the price of the house.

"Twelve hundred pounds?"

Hearing the price, Connor frowned slightly. It didn't mean that he couldn't afford the price, but that it was beyond the budget he had given to Harland's platinum gang. Although the average price of the house per square meter was a bit higher than the nearby area, he was very happy about it, but the price of 1200 pounds was negotiable, It's very good to erase the small change of two hundred pounds. According to my expectation, the price is still two hundred pounds higher. If I agree too quickly, it's too suspicious······

"Look at the rest!" Make up your mind, Connor said faintly. The house is here. It's definitely impossible to run. 1200 pounds is not a casual price for nobles and rich businessmen. You should first take a look at other houses and have a look. If you are not satisfied with them, you can come back to talk about it. It won't be abrupt at that time.

Seeing that Connor seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the price, Harland said with a smile: "the agency commission of meilingge real estate agency is generally 10% higher than that of its peers, but our company is not so expensive for no reason. On the one hand, we have our own real estate resources, On the other hand, ···· "Mr. Harland paused for a moment, then emphasized his tone and said with deep meaning:" our company has its own relationship in many big banks in Rouen, which can help customers to handle housing mortgage loan! "

Some surprised glances at Mr. Harland. Connor really didn't expect that Mr. Harland's meilinger real estate agency had such energy to handle mortgage loans. Over the years, because donghoy company was less and less satisfied with its role as a pure resource exporter in the past trade with the Kaman Empire, it began to upgrade its industry, Looking for a more upstream position in the industrial chain, the business on the west coast of the Empire headed by Lu en was naturally directly impacted. Although the economic development was still growing, the growth rate did slow down significantly, from the original annual growth rate of more than 5% to about 2%.

As the economic growth slows down, the most obvious feeling is that the income of some factories in Rouen has started to drop by a large margin. As the income drops, they can't afford to repay the loans owed to the banks. About 60% of the rich businessmen who run these factories borrow from the banks through housing, so when the factory owners can't afford to repay the loans, There are many mortgaged houses in the hands of banks, so in recent years, in order to avoid risks, Lu en's major banks rarely accept housing mortgage loans. However, this Mr. Harland said that meilingge real estate agency can help them handle housing mortgage loans. Obviously, they have a very hard relationship in the bank.

"I believe Mr. Warren can understand the general environment of roon. The conditions of the mortgage loan are rather harsh. For example, the house costs 1200 pounds, and you can lend up to 50% of the market price!" Facing Connor's surprised eyes, Mr. Harland said very frankly:

After a pause, Connor shook his head and said, "let's look at the other houses."

"OK, let's go to the next one!" For Connor's final decision, Mr. Harland has no objection at all. After all, this is the characteristic of his business. This house is not good. If you look at other houses, it's normal.

After spending three hours, Mr. Harland took Connor to the fourth house they saw today.

"Mr. Warren, this house is located in Ramsey street in the North District. Two blocks ahead, it's the East District, so the public security is very guaranteed, and the traffic is also very convenient. The house has two floors with a basement, a total of 212 square meters. The house also has a small flower garden, and there are two meters of walls around the house, When you close the door, the whole house is like a small manor! " Despite taking Connor to watch for such a long time, Mr. Harland's professionalism is still very good. Although he looks tired, his voice and service attitude are as good as ever.

"How much is it?" Looking around the house, Connor was pleasantly surprised to find that the house he was in now was more qualified as a safe house than the first one he saw.

"The seller asked for 850 pounds!" Mr. Harland said immediately, but after that, there was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes under the lens, and then added: "although the seller wants 850 pounds, Mr. Warren, if you really want this price, I think you can talk about it!"

After hearing the answer from Mr. Harland, Connor patted Mr. Harland on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Harland, my bottom line is 750 gold pounds. Please go to the seller for me to talk about how much less the actual transaction price of this house is than 750 in addition to the commission I give you from meilingge real estate agency, I'll give you an extra fifty percent! "Hearing Connor's conditions, Mr. Harland's tired eyes suddenly showed a touch of light. After calculating how much money he could get, he nodded to Connor and said with a smile: "Mr. Warren, thank you for your trust in me. I believe I won't let you down!"

He left the purchase of the house to Mr. Harland. Connor got on the public car. Of course, for the sake of caution, he didn't go directly back to his home on land street in the eastern district. Instead, he took the public carriage and turned around in the roon district for a few times before returning to his real face and went back to apartment 16 on land street in the Eastern District!

He took out a bottle of gin from the wine cabinet and found Connor who was in a good mood and suitable for a safe house. He leaned on the sofa and drank it without pouring it into the glass.

After drinking half a bottle of gin, Connor felt the fragrance of gin in his mouth, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth
