    We dropped the price by 2% - the new agent wasn't bothered, thought the asking price was acceptable and it was still above what we would have accpeted. I'm thinking that 2% probably wasn't the figure that made much of a difference - the buyers offered the asking price straight away.

    Interestingly actually, in the time between giving notice and starting with the new agent, the old one pulled a buyer out of the bag. They wouldn't quite come up to what I wanted although I heard later from our architect who designed the extension on the house they did buy look like ours(!) that they thought the EA was playing games with them.B y the weekend we'd the full asking price offer with a much cheaper estate agent. That move literally saved us £15,000 between the price I would have accepted from them and the EA fees! They'd have had to offer over the asking price to get the house in the end.

    Really!
    well done on that, i really do hope we follow the same suit !!!

    storage heaters would make me end the viewing if i did not know...economy 7 never ever again....
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
