    you might find that the OurProperty website has sold prices listed that don't appear on Rightmove (don't ask me why!)

    .. Because RM only shows sold prices for those that were advertised on RM (which in some areas is a really small number...

    .EDIT

    No, that's not it... RM seems to be getting the same ROS feed as Zoopla, OurProperty, etc. ....

    I was in Scotland for a time and think the O/O system stinks. It is good for the seller when the market is good.

    If the market is slow and you think the vendor is wanting a sale, then make them an offer.

    I am no expert in property but have lived in many types of homes, in many locations and can only talk from experience.

    Don't think they're at that stage yet, unfortunately. Was wondering though if it would be ok etiquette to say to the estate agent that we liked it but it's not worth what they're asking (to us) but if they do reduce the price at some point to give us a call? Or is that a no-no?
