If you don't mind me being nosy did you sell above asking price? After being turned down offering way above asking price for another property I am wondering if it was a one off (the property was very nice) or if I am doomed to have to offer massive piles of cash to beat the competition...!
Where are you looking?
At the end of 2013 we sold at about 5% above asking price - within a week! (half a dozen offers)
Compare this to our sale which fell through 12 months earlier which was 5% below asking and after being on the market for 2 months.
Obviously we're very happy with that but having looked at buying again in southville, we decided to move away to get more for our £££.0 -
I'm looking in Bedminster/Totterdown. Southville is slightly too expensive for me. The house I bid on was on the market for 210k and I bid 221k and was rejected. I suspect I might have to bid 225k for a 210k or 230k+ on a 220k property but who knows. It's total chaos at the moment.0

It can also be cockroaches. Gnawing on wood, they can make quite a noise which is especially audible at night. If the scratching noise is very 'regular' in sound, then don't rule out our insect friends.''He who takes no offence at anyone either on account of their faults, or on account of his own suspicious thoughts, has knowledge of God and of things devine.''0

Could be a mouse in the roofspace. I had the "scratching noise" above my bathroom and kitchen where there's a sloping roof a couple of months ago. Put a couple of mousetraps on a tray, slid them into the roofspace, about half and hour later heard the snap, and bingo, no more scratching.0

Could be bats. We had them once many years ago. Made lots of tapping and scratching noises inside the cavity (upstairs,) and roofspace. You will need to contact some kind of pest control.
Not sure they can eliminate bats though: I think they're protected. Can't remember what we did. I think a neighbour smoked them out... it was 30 years ago though, and they just all flew into the trees.0 -
