    Do you really think it is that bad? From my experience in the area I cover its a great starting point but, as I said, dont take it as gospel!

    Hahahaha :rotfl:

    Are you being serious?

    How much experience do you actually have?

    With regard to pricing seen as you are probably in first time buyer territory I would suggest leaving it at that price and offering a 5% Vendor gifted deposit.

    Don't mean to be negative, but imo this is not worth doing - What mortgage product is there that accepts vendor gifted deposits?

    Sold prices Try www.zoopla.co.uk their house price calculator is pretty good but dont take it as gospel!

    Zoopla price calculator is widely seen as a joke by both public and estate agents. You personally can rig the prices easily to value it to what you want.

    Very few lenders support gift deposits any more and they will be hopefully removed with the MME.
