The area we are selling in is slow but the area we're buying in is extremely buoyant due to excellent schools. We had a bidding war on a house last year before our chain collapsed. And now this time around we've had to pay full asking price for our new property, although we thought it was priced accordingly compared to a few which are overpriced that are still lingering around even in that fast moving area.
Where is this EXTREMELY buoyant market you have up north please?
as up north is dead and suffering the lowest transaction levels since records began...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.0 -
Estate Agents will always trick you paying higher price.
If the offer on the house has been accepted then just move on to the next house. Don't attach your emotion to a house. If you do so, you will be in bidding war trap.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0 -
Laughing with ya, wiiman.
Try telling that to the people trying to sell round my way!0 -
