10% less than asking price in this instance is £40k so seems a bit of a piss take. should I go with 5% which is 20 grand less and try to 'meet in the middle' I am also weary that the place has also gone down 20 in asking price alraedy in the last few months and has been on sale for the last 6 months.

I only ever bought one place before and the process was quite easy. I was told there is no way they would go under a certain amount and I went below it and they accepted it.
How much are you prepared to walk away F? If you really want it don't go the full 10%.

Also make any offer 'subject to survey'. If that throws up anything costly it gives a legit opportunity to revise down any accepted offer.
