Parents neighbour put 3 year old 2 bed semi (rabbit hutch size) on market, first agent advised £125K, second agent £140K.

Went with second agent on market on Saturday, 6 viewings the same day offer of £138K made same day and accepted.

Dereham - Norfolk.

Thats a good price there! We're also in Dereham (small world 'eh?) and are currently selling our 2 bed terraced (also about 3 years old) for £127,500 which is a massive increase in value since we bought it just 16 months ago for £112k. One estate agent valued it at £117k but we knew of a couple of almost identical houses that had been sold just a few months before for around £130k, so we went to the estate agent that had handled their sales, and they said we'd def get £130k for ours owing to the great condition and high demand of the property/area. We took £127.5k as we needed to sell quickly to secure the house we wanted, but probably could've got the full price if we waited.
