So I went to the place one last time today, prepared to raise my offer...
I was told on arrival the flat was sold at a much MUCH higher price than I offered.. They were not prepared to tell me how much it went for.
I was like.. asking is 249.. i offered 240... how MUCH is MUCH!?. She said it was through an agent...
I walked away all !!!!ed for not making a higher offer earlier and did a simple search. I found out that an agent. who was listing it, changed its status to Sold, subject to contract. The agent was actually listing it for 300k!!!! So I'm kind of sure that there is some poor guy out there who got screwed. He most definitely paid more than the actual asking price.
Serves him right for not looking up the development and actually see that its listed less.. (its still listed less on the site).
Wonder what will happen when his mortgage company has the survey. I doubt it will be valued at £300k.

If they were prepared to let it go at that much less (and didn't the OP mention fun getting mortgages lined up for it even then?) then I can't see a mortgage company valuing at £300k, no.
Wonder if they'll come back to him in a few days time and say the other seller had to pull out for reasons un-connected to the value of the property, and "would you like to buy at the price we originally offered you which now seems like a bargain doesn't it?"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything0 -

I know, makes me wonder about the 3 bed house I just purchased for 108k. I mean it isn't new build and no one described it as "pimped out" or anything!If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything0 -
new builds or not.. 1 bed flats go for that price in E1.. (unless you want to live on an ex-council high rise)0

Erm just move to another part of the country then....because paying 240k for a 1 bed flat is rather stupid.If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0
