Is marketing my property as offers over, really worth it?

Curious49 · 2015-03-19 23:04:33

I'm selling my house and have been advised to market it as a fixed price or offers over. I can see the logic in terms of not receiving really low offers I don't want to accept. However I don't want to put buyers off. Has anyone done this? Did it take longer to sell your house as a result? Thanks!

Have my house on the market in Scotland at the moment and have been advised fixed price as it is in a rural area with not much interest, However, in the cities, offers over has once again become the way to go.

Not just in cities. My house is on the market just now in a large village, we are on at OO £240K and got an offer 4 days in for £243K.

The ba%%$ withdrew it the next day mind as something else they missed out on 2 weeks before came back up again and they went for that instead. To say I was peed off would be an understatement.
