    Why can't you just put your home up for sale with a local estate agent?

    They say typically 85% but when I enquired they offered 70%, I think they judge how desperate you are to sell quickly, if they think you are really desperate then they take the p**s!

    Plus they charge you for their 'survey'.

    Drop the price below others currently on the market and be prepared to take offers.

    If you sold through the 'normal' channel of an estate agent 95% would be achievable, but not certain.

    You are searching for something that isn't there.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.
