I thought Id log into rightmove as I havent for a few days and noted this new feature ( is it new? I havent seen it before)

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-you/property-deal-weekly

My favourite one is the house in Wt that has dropped 1501,000

Is this old news :o

Im on the first page and Im finding it staggering!!
:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    It's not brand new, just newish.

    We just didn't tell you about it.

    We've all been looking/using it :)

    Is someone who got his price astronomically above a saleable price likely to suddenly reduce it to a reasonable price or joy of joys a bargain. I think probably not, but interesting just the same.

    They have been sending out area by area reduction pages for a few months IIRC.

    I've been receiving the Carmarthenshire one, so I suppose I must have asked for it.

    Well, makes no difference now. I gave those Welsh hopefuls enough time, but they wasted the opportunity by just shaving the odd £5 -£10k off here and there, instead of giving me the car-crash price I was after.:rolleyes:

    I'll take this opportunity to say simply: 'Ta'ra. Sorry I didn't get to know you better.'

    Or was that Michael Jackson? No, definitely not. I couldn't afford his place, even before HPI.

    still need a tool to link the actual sold price with the asking price(s)... guess the lag from Land Registry data would make it less useful than I'm imagining, though.
    My friends bought a house in Richmond, initial asking price was £499,000, they got it for £303,000! I mean obv the original price was way overvalued, but still, 40% off the asking price sounds damn good when he tells the story!

    So how much further will the falls be? If, as some say, a further 25% to go that will take us back to which year? 2002?

    I have no idea pobby, but the way things are going i think me & OH will be able to buy what we want on less than 3x one salary and the rest cash, so the lower the better really for us :D

    I would love richmond, its SO nice but weve been looking in cheaper areas ;)
