!!!!!! In Littlefield Road? It's ridiculous! It is a semi whereas we are mid-terrace but there is not much to compare in the two areas. We wouldn't even go and view houses that came on there. Hopefully our buyer will be watching the market too and realise she has got a good deal if she can wait.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

that would have been what, 150 in January 2014?0

Hardly suprising. You only have to look at neighbouring Hitchin and see what houses go for - lots of people selling up, cashing in and going to another nearby town with enough change to buy a spanking new car.0

Probably around that. We were priced higher than that area when we went on in May and that was £164k. Where we are is a lot nicer, and walking distance from town and station.
Just thinking, our buyer will have a mortgage agreement that will run out by the end of April I would think. What happens then if we still haven't completed? Does she have to reapply, pay more and could that potentially hold things up if we are near to completion?
Hopefully it won't come to that, but our vendors are still nowhere near finding a property.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

I would speak to the agent and solicitors again. As you are right there is a risk that your buyer will need to reapply.0

I don't think that there is anything we can do though. Spoke to EA today and still the vendors have not found a house.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

Why can't estate agents be honest?

We went to view this one yesterday. Looks not too bad for the price, considering we were going to buy a lovely one in the same street on at £195k last year. We were prepared for it needing a bit of work, but at that price it was doable.
However what we would not have known from the EA blurb is that is is a repo. The former owners have ripped up floorboards to remove all of the electric cables and every single piece of copper piping they could find. Why couldn't they have bothered to tell us before we wasted our time going to see it?Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

It does look like a possible repo from the photos. But it certainly wasn't built in 1970 as they claim, more like early/mid 1950s at the latest.
EA are under no obligation to list items missing or in disrepair in their RM ad or sales particulars or that it is repossessed.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
That's Taylors for you :-p0
