    Increase the price so they can drop it again later? I think a new tactic amongst EA's is to market a house at an over-inflated price and then just a couple of weeks later drop it 10% - you can then genuinely say, "reduced £40k from original asking price". It's a bit like those 'sales' in Sports Direct where the rrp of a chavvy t-shirt is £38, but they are selling it for £7. Everybody likes to think they are getting a bargain.

    Is it just me (or more to the point my laptop) or is Rightmove running really slowly tonight?I ave up trying to look at the links but yes I've seen a few with 50k price increases. A lot of them seemed to go up in January. Presumably because they heard there was an increase in buyers.
