It's only "worth" what someone is willing to pay for it. How many times does that need to be reiterated I wonder?

You can say that again. :T :T :T :T :T

Hmm interesting now I am a liar

I will not continue to use boards that do nothing but have people on them who have far too much time on their hands to choose to belittle others or have their little wsiecracks - why on earth after all of these comments would I then put up my property? Knowing you vindictive liot you would probably arrange vieings or come and smash my windows

P.S For the record I got my sums wrong before - after getting a recent statemtn from the mortgage company and going through my old paper work I found that out - not that it matters now as I am either a schitzo or a liar so thanks
From a pregnant, intelligent decent newly married woman who has worked hard her whole life and brought her first house at 22 in london which is probably more than any of you lot have ever done

You are 'outraged' with the above, yet you posted this??

Yes.....very odd.

And I am so surprised that noone else has commented on this.

Well had a chat with hubby last night and we are going to keep the flat on the market but re-jig the flat around - it wont cost much to put up a stud wall in the living room and make a second bedroom and take out the massive two wardrobes in the bedroom and use that space to put the cot and baby stuff - am wondering how much it would be to put in velux windows into the roof and make it a useable room without spending £25K

If the people saying you will sell for more are right, this may be helpful.

If the people saying you won't sell for more are right, this will help you with the house being more livable.

As a first time buyer though, I would only offer what I thought a property was worth based on sales in the area less a bit.

One thing you might want to bear in mind. Should someone require a mortgage to buy your flat then the valuation by the building society will probably set the price. Building society valuations are considerably down on 2007 prices as the BS are pricing in not only the falls over the past 18 months but also expectations of future price drops. Any work you do to improve what you see as the value of the property is unlikely to be reflected in the BS valuation. It is unlikely in my view that should the BS valuer value the property at say 180k that you will find a buyer who is prepared to pay over 200k. The BS will only lend a % of 180k which will mean the buyer would have to fund the rest up to 180k + any more over the value they would be prepared to pay. In a falling market, I doubt if there are many who would want to do this.

You have an offer that whilst it won't make you any money won't leave you in negative equity either, and you are wanting to spend yet more money when prices are still dropping in order to get more money?

Amazing!

Good luck on the bank or building society valuing it at their offer price and them being able to take it to completion.

Hope it all works out ok for you

That is brilliant

Glad that you are happy and able to move on. Hope that the sale goes through very smoothly and that you find somewhere to rent/buy that will make a wonderful hom for your family (including your new arrival ).

Good luck
