You have my great sympathy, this is a totally mad system of selling/buying a generally high priced product.
Who perpetuates this system - the legal industry? I wonder why no government has ever tackled this problem?Be ALERT - The world needs more LERTS0 -
Your posts on other threads sugeest frugality nel.
Tell me nel.
Are you frugal or just mean?
What pains you when you are shopping my friend.
I mean..............
.......................... what do you really begrudge paying for?
Ridiculously expensive houses and ever increasing stamp duty and ever increasing estate agents fees.
I just think its far better to have the essentials in life as cheap as possible so we can have more money to spend on the fun stuff.
Life is frighteningly short and I'd much rather spend the money I earn on seeing the world and experiencing things rather than wasted on a pile of bricks.
Oh and haircuts

Given so many rags now own property sites though (including, most recently, the "socialist" Grauniad), I wonder how many would publish.
It really does show you the properties where sellers are clearly keen to sell - and are cutting accordingly.
Even in the apparently red hot North London area I have my other (third) eye on, there are pages of price reductions.
I couldnt possibly recommend they contact anybody about it till they sort out the speed issues. 25mins just to get 1 page of results which I cant click onto because it never loads.....0 -

Good point.
It was deathly slow yesterday morning, then quick sticks last night.
Any kind of national coverage would cause a real property crash.0 -

Yeah, I had some problems yesterday, but it's fine now & works with firefox.
Good job."Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

without being able to compare it to what similar properties were doing a year/2 years ago etc. it's hard to take stock of the figures. On our market the only double digit drops are on houses in the high end/finger in the air market/£750k+ so sort of understandable. The remaining drops tend to be up to 5% the majority being under 3% i.e token £5k drops in the sub £250k market probably due to estate agent overpricing or maybe desperation. I was actually expecting it to highlight some more properties that I had actually seen drops on but don't show on it, not sure how the software behind it works so maybe it is not picking up all websites s masking true picture0
