    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.

    No wonder - it's a bonanza for sellers.

    some bomads paid £511,000 for a house with less bedrooms on the other side of the street.
    obviously this one is not priced highly enough. like you say, its a bonanza for sellers!

    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.

    Yes just ignore the fact you were wrong and move onto the next thing to be wrong about.

    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 moving

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