Is there a way of finding out how long a property has been for sale?

I don't have mozilla/firefox and dh is not keen on me installing it.

I don't know why.

I'm presuming you therefore use Internet Explorer, which by many people's conclusions is far more susceptible to viruses etc.

It is commonly considered that Mozilla Firefox is a much more stable platform from which to surf the internet.

You can be happy that you are downloading a very well used, well established product, and there is no need to be scared of using it. It would appear dh is coming to some arguably hasty conclusions.

Who is to say you will tell the vendor the truth?

No, honestly, I can only afford £21,592.04 below the asking price, and that's the truth.

Buyers and sellers lie to each other, shock, horror.

Can anyone do any detective work on this - I saw it for sale a couple of months ago but cannot remember the price. Propertybee shows it as being new from 13the Feb - its isn't. Just trying to see what the reduction has been as it looks like theres a planning wrangle now that wasn't mentioned when it first went up for sale.

Only thing is, a lot of EA's are developing a habit of "relaunching" properties that have been hanging around a while - i.e. they take it off the market then put it back on as if it's new - and this upsets the figures as the clock goes back to zero.

Last I heard they were trying to figure a way to link them up, I guess they don't have quite enough information available to do it automatically. I read they were hoping to let people manually link listings, but I reckon it wouldn't have much of a take-up.
