what price are people looking at?

I think I would be tempted to market at £510,000.

If I was looking to buy, I wouldn't expect to be able to knock a house priced at £550,000 down to the lower stamp duty bracket, as I would think that something priced at £550,000 would be intended to go for over £500,000.

You must be a sellers dream!

Surely at least 10% off asking is an absolute given as a first offer?

You don't like fixed prices.
You have dropped 17%.

How much of a margin have you left between what you are asking and what you would accept?

I have kind of accepted that I will get what I get:o


Both houses were valued above £200K in August/September last year - I personally thought my own was slightly too high at £225K, and I was right but did not stick to my guns:mad: . If I just sit and wait I could be looking at £100K each within two or three years: but the people above me will be in the same boat - so I do not see it as a "loss" if you see what I mean.:D

I am told that that is the least people are asking for off - and that there are those who are looking for a minimum of 25% off, especially where they have cash in hand:o

I don't think I would be any seller's dream, all the time I am not in a position to buy! :rotfl:

I quite agree that a first offer of 90% of asking price is as good a place as any to start. My point is that when that 10% is £55,000, it is a hell of a lot of money to expect the seller to wave goodbye to when they are asking it. I wouldn't truly expect a seller to accept my first offer. I just figure it makes sense for a seller to open negotiations with an asking price somewhere in the region of the price they will accept.

Maybe I just think that £70,000 is a huge amount of money to be playing about with!

I'm just saying that it's all relative, 10k off a 100k house will feel the same to that person as 50k off a 500k house, I'm sure the seller of the higher house wouldn't wave you good bye.

you need to get a job, and grow up, you obviously have to much time on your hands stuck in that high rise.

Has for working from home,?you seem to know a lot about it, can you earn much from that?

Are you a bitter estate agent, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands, im guessing your a out of work estate agent whos bitter?

Ive broke up now from work till after christmas, i could do with a little pocket money.

So any tips on your licking envelopes would be a help, mind you i bet your used to licking things, i could imagine you have licked a lot of windows in the past.:p

I wouldnt put a link up of my house, why dont you put up a link of your so called half a million pound house. yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh rightttttttttttttttttt hehehehehee.

I think your jealous that everyone on here has got more than what you have, saying that you have got a very big imagination.

I can picture you now sat in front of the tv watching jeremy kyle, with brown sauce stains down the front of your blue shell suit, and with your cheap jewellery on, ive glad you have posted on here as its tickled me.:rotfl:

And remember no matter what you havent got tickled, no one can take your walter mitty lifestyle away from you, so keep on taking the medication.:T



confused:o

Confused blob,

I don't have a link to my house because it isn't on the market:p

I paid CASH for it after selling my previous one last year - for £525.000 to be precise!:money:

If you have a £120K property for sale (as you CLAIM) then why not post a link? Hmmmm? I'll tell you why - because you just RENT a little box somewhere! And you're JEALOUS of everyone who has a nice home and lots of DOSH!:rotfl:

BUT be glad of one thing in your little life - you have a fan. Yes, that very busy, wise girl of the Bar - NDG is the only person who thanks your every insulting post. No-one else Thanks your posts - just her.

I hope you're NOT her!:eek: The lady of the Bar who manages to spend 24 hours a day - seven days a week - on THIS forum alone!!!!!!:eek:

She must be ever so much in demand at work:rotfl: :rotfl:

Anyway, back to you, Blob.............you're a LOSER. Big time. And you will always have NOTHING.

I don't believe you have a property for sale - not for one second!!!

You're just a little cyber nut:p

PP. Why are you so bitter and twisted? Do you have so much time on your hands that you sit counting thanked posts? You also seem to have a dislike of NDG. Jealous are you of someone who's intelligent and has a demanding job?
Confused has you banged to rights I think and you're sitting alone in a bedsit licking envelopes with you're tongue lolling out like the icon you're so fond of .
Try being a bit more pink than pickled.;)

Hello PP,
We're actually selling a 4 bed detached house, or trying to, as we want to relocate to the seaside. (ah) It's not going well for obvious reasons, but as a realist I can understand why this is and am doing as much as I can to get a buyer. If it doesn't happen then we won't be going anywhere very soon. You assume too much which is why you're making a fool of yourself on this thread.
Talking the market down has as much effect as talking it up.;)

Just read your post PP and it looks like I hit a raw nerve. Sorry for that.

You're part of a sad little bunch on here who constantly try to talk the market down. Like this for example:

Pickledp darling,
Those 7 bed places are 2 a penny nowadays. I'd tell her to wait till after Xmas and maybe 10K might be nearer the mark.

That came from a thread about a £2M+ property. And you pretend you're not jealous and bitter?:p

You'd LOVE to get your grubby mits on a lovely place for next to nothing! You and your crowd (the Confused's etc) remind me of vultures.

Thank God you'll never be able to afford MY area. Your type WOULD bring property prices down!:eek:

As for asking if I'm jealous of NDG:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ........I don't know the woman (if she is a woman - this is the internet don't forget) but I've heard she looks like a younger version of Anne Widdecombe. And I'm not jealous of Anne either!:p IF she is a barrister - which could be a load of b******* she is never at work!!!!

So no, I'm not jealous of her "demanding" job!:rotfl: :rotfl:

I actually find her messages tiresome if you want the truth. In nearly every post she mentions either her Daddy (the barrister) - her husband (the barrister) her job (at the Bar) and one wonders who she's trying to impress. Cos she's certainly not impressing the Bar - she's never got any cases!!:p

Aanyway, Confused has gone quiet - maybe he's run out of money to put in the leccy box and can't log on.:j

YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boring aint you got any new material?????

I think a few people have made pickled look at a few home truths, you never know we might see her on jeremy kyle soon, at least we will know what she looks like now.
