Looks like 'the old increase the price from £310k to £350k trick on 16/08/2014' worked. Sold subject to contract for £350k.
You need to bear in mind this is for a house that is truly hideous in an unpleasant area and, judging by the photos, has been occupied by tenants who don't much give a !!!! about how they live let alone worrying about the landlord's property.
If it goes through then using your own patented method of house price valuation would put it about 50% above the peak price for Rodney Place.Bubble_and_Squeak wrote: »supply up again in october
No wonder - it's a bonanza for sellers.0 -

Remember to read the comments (especially the long ones) too.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0 -

patience is a virtue!
it has to complete before you can get your rocks off
no one in their right mind would go anywhere near rodney place so its probably just a cheap estate agents trick to get the market moving0 -

Whenever you're wrong you say it's a trick. You've been tricked more times than the lovely Debbie McGee.0
