Buying a house for cash
I am in a position where I can buy a house for cash without a chain. How much should I offer on a £400k house? I know the actual price paid depends on the position of the people who own the house. Note: they have only just gone to market - which to me would potentially suggest they have a reason to sell. Thanks

"Do Not Use" tapes in EA photo - what does this mean?
I have seen a property on Rightmove I might be interested in as it is very, very much cheaper than anything comparable (don't want to post link in case someone here beats me to it :D ) . It is advertised as 'no onward chain' and the photos show an empty property but the hob in the kitchen, the bath/sinks and the swimming…

How accurate is Mouseprice?
Not sure if this is really the right board as I'm not looking to sell or buy, just wondering how accurate it is in determining current values. Just want to keep track of how much our house is losing by the month really!

"No upward chain" - is this good or bad?
Hi all I'm a FTB currently looking to buy with my bf. We are selling his flat, but are to some extent chain-free as we are not relying on the proceeds of the flat to fund the deposit on a house. Having said that, we don't want to be stuck with his flat for a long time, so the sooner we sell it the better. We have seen a…

State of decor when leaving rented property
I am due to move out of my privately rented house at the end of Feb after almost 2 years here with a family of 5 (3 kids). All the walls are magnolia and, as you'd expect, showing some signs of marks and scuffing from general day-to-day use of the property, nothing more than that. My questions is, are we expected to leave…
