Seen that all over where I live.Many sellers do not want to accept that their property has dropped 15-25% in the last twelve months, although they were always happy to be informed of the 15% annual increase.

The agent does the valuation, but the vendor will ultimately set the asking price. If they think it is worth another £30k they will usually try and find an agent willing to market at the higher price.

Not sure where you get the minimum of 15% from.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

well it has been a couple of days since the official figures came out so they are probably 15% by nowIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly

For example, according to LR Cheshire is down 7.2%.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Nope point living in dream land now is it....and you only questioned the 15%
It'll be 25% by the middle of the year the way things are going so you won't have to wait long.If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly

They often have January sales of hard-to-shift property. I sold mine in one in 2007 (smug, moi?).
Presumably you also bought another property to move into at the market peak / paid CGT if this was not your main residence?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
