    More examples:

    date event
    07 May 2007 First day listed (price £330,000)
    18 May 2007 Price changed from £330,000 to £300,000


    date event
    20 Mar 2007 First day listed (price £394,950)
    04 Apr 2007 Price changed from £394,950 to £364,950


    In both cases waited approx. 2 weeks to drop price by 10% - smacks of over valuation by the EA

    Even better

    20 Mar 2007 First day listed (price £275,000)
    23 Mar 2007 Price changed from £275,000 to £250,000

    Gave it all of 3 days before taking off approx. 9%!

    You appear to be experienced in helping people nel.

    What is your speciality my friend?



    Could you be the lawyer we seek?



    Do you know what would happen if a buyer died between exchange and completion?

    Is it possible for estate agents and their accomplices to steal from the unwary?

    Please help my friend.
