    Do you view in price acsending? I view price decending, and no price drops on first page. :) In that sort of budget 'round my way', we have big drops.
    wheresmydoshat I presumed mewbie was viewing rightmove with property bee. :)
  • most 2-3 bedroom places have been stuck on the market for ages.

    Dead cat bounce and all that. The fundamenetals in the UK are not strong enough at the moment to forge any sort of recovery.

    I view price ascending - my view is that is a better feel for the market where the cheaper and more numerous properties are.

    And yes, Rightmove with Property Bee. Using it without seems so strange nowadays.
  • ah, i tried property bee earlier in the week but may have to go back to it when i have more time to get it to actually work on my pc !

    How are you recording price drops/lack of ? The fact that things are sticking might suggest there IS room for price reduction possibly. I don't use PB for my search simply because very little I'm looking at gets to right move, but if I were looking for a standard domestic property I'd think it would be a pretty valuable tool. A sit is, thughI spend some time a day checking through my records I wish PB worked for me!

    I cannot state enough how valuable Firefox and Property Bee are. It should only take five minutes to get them to work, and it is like lifting a lid on the lies you / we are being told, still, by vested interests.

    Desirable property they say. We say, but it's been on for a year and dropped 25%, and still no ones looking at it.

    Five minutes. If it doesn't work on your PC, buy a new PC. As long as the sellers will install it for you as part of the deal of course. Seriously. Once you can see the market laid out for you - in virtually every area in the UK - you will begin to see what the bears are banging on about. Houses generally are not selling and are dropping in price.

    Could possible save you a fortune.
