Any estate agents out there from these areas who can advise on how the property market is doing in these areas. Been looking at properties to buy but they do not seem to be coming down in price - looking for three bed semis. Are people just holding out or is 350/400K the right price for the area? Also when putting in a bid, how much below asking price is the general norm at the moment?
We have moved into these areas from the West country and find the prices quite unrealistic. Are house prices going to go down and catch up with the rest of the country (I realise that London will always be more exepnsive than rest of country)?

It's true. Vendors in London are still in denial. But then they shouldn't be suprised when their properties are still on the market and not sellingKrusty & Phil Madoff, 1990 - 2007:

Hi, I'm not an estate agent...I do however know the area well as I grew up there and my mum and step father just sold up and moved from there...although the prices aren't "aparently" coming down... but NO ONE is offering near the asking price. My mum's place started off at £380k and they ended up selling at £270k now obviously that is quite a drop...their place did need renovating but they developed quite a good relationship with there estate agent as 2 sales fell through previous to finally selling but he said that offers on any property in that area were below the asking price quite substantially. For exmaple things on at £300k were getting offers of £250k. Hope that helps.0
