    karie, I am not telling people to sell. Get a life. Everyone has missed the point again. The start of this was to allow people to have general guidline.

    Somehow it became a spelling B test. Ha.

    Now it has become, 'not everyone can sell'.

    DUH...... I know...............................

    Once again, this is about a guideline for people to generally know what their house is for.

    As long as you don't sell, your house is still your home!!! People are now forgetting that a house is a home. Not an investment it once was!

    As long as your mortgage is affordable you are safe as house! Pardon my pun.

    Are you really a financial adviser? That is scary.

    1. Valuate is not a word.

    2. An average of 1% is not the same as an average of 1.5%.

    3. Making a house sellable must add value (assuming that it was previously unsellable).

    4. A conservatory costing £10K cannot add more than 5% to a house worth £200K. One costing £3K would add much less to that same house. Some conservatories reduce the house price. They are disgusting additions to most houses IMHO.

    Just to add, I don't think estate agents are in the business of overvaluing at the moment, more likely chasing sales turnover.

    Classy.

    One of the most ignorant things you can post on a forum in my opinion.

    To give you an example of the price crashes in NI, I bought my small 3 bed semi in 2004 for £71,000. By early summer 2007 it (or the same type on the development) was selling for offers around £210,000. In October the Nationwide valued it at £126,000 and I've recently seen another for sale in the local paper for £89,000!!!

    According to Halifax, we are at October 2005 prices
