Little advise needed

TBH any money you've spent on a property is only likely to make your property more attractive to buyers when there are similar properties in the area. It's unlikely to add a great deal to the price.

Let's put it another way. There are five houses for sale down your street. Yours is the nicest by a long way with new everything. The others are in worse condition. Someone viewing properties down your road is more likely to buy yours if all five were priced at roughly the same price.

It's a bit like cars. Two cars priced at £10K. One is an absolute shed and the other is mint. A buyer will buy the mint car for £10K.

Hi Ginger,

I sold my house with the same estate agent in december last year, so i had a lot of dealing with them so i knew how they work, well sort off.

This house had already fallen through twice with other buyers, one guy lost his job & the other lost there buyer. We had an 80k deposit to use as an bargaining tool, that helped. There was also two other viewings on the same day as ours, we actually bumped into a couple as we were leaving. So it proved popular, i guess that we might have rushed into things, but we have been looking for a house for some time. I guess that if you like the house, you pay what you believe it is worth. But there is always "have i offered to much" LOL.

It will be interesting to see what the valuation will bring up, it might be bang on.
