 One has just sold for full asking price in Beatrice Road, how do I know that? He is a mate.
 Sorry went to bed early (for once!)......now to check rightmove again to make sure they are still there.
 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-16749818.rsp?pa_n=false&tr_t=buy was £350k now £152.5K (very overpriced at the beginning, remember seeing that listing when it was first listed and thinking "What!!" although it is very on the border for being one of those in a decent area)
 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-22500089.rsp?pa_n=false&tr_t=buy was £675k now £575k
 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-20895230.rsp?pa_n=false&tr_t=buy was £690K now £500K
 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-17712770.rsp?pa_n=false&tr_t=buy was £750K now £595K
 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-22693238.rsp?pa_n=2&tr_t=buy&mam_disp=true was £635K now £500K (all bar a fiver)
 There are also quite a few reduced by £60 to £80K....one thing though, now showing some sold houses in my saved list on there but they look they have been competitively priced.
 Edit - Think I may have found the one in Beatrice Avenue, if so, not bad...sold in 9 days. Mind you, very very competitively priced for that road and an absolutely gorgeous house, they have certainly put a lot of effort into it haven't they? Absolutely beautiful.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
 Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0

            I'm planning house purchases for summer June/July next year, when the main falls will be gone and a period of price stability or at worst nominal price reductions. Interest rates should be low, and one can then tie in a long term deal a a low rate. Between now and summer around 15% reduction in house prices, lowering interest rates, general hard times. I think that the next 4 months will really see some hard falls.
 As one of those who predicted the housing crash a few years ago, when everyone thought that there was no possible way houses could fall, and bank sector meltdown that would result from banking bad debts, I'm in a pretty strong position.0

 Yes this one in Beatrice is a loverly price but would not have gone for much more even in the peak time. This road at one time was the most sought after in Felixstowe but now all the smart money stays away due to how busy it has become with noisey road traffic.Sorry went to bed early (for once!)......now to check rightmove again to make sure they are still there.

 Was never worth £350k must have been a pricing error because you could have bought in Picketts Road for that price.

 Cliff top property loverly views except in the summer due to being swamped by visitors in the summer. All the owners who have tried to sell these ones have got stupidly greedy.

 I have always liked this one myself in Brook Lane and at one time I have owned a very large house in this road. It is still about £50 to £60k over priced.
 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-17712770.rsp?pa_n=false&tr_t=buy was £750K now £595K
 This one was put on by agents who have not got a clue about Felixstowe and in my view is still over priced now.

 This one in Maybush is part of the old collage grounds and to is well over priced but at the peak this would have been snapped up.

 Thank you for your effort in highlighting these properties.

 kenny, just watch that you don't get caught out by the end of stamp duty concession, if the market is going to turn next year that could be the ignition. They could of course extend it or prices could fall again after.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.
