PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

You listened to the advice, acted on it, and your hard work paid off!
Have you accepted yet?
Not yet, one of them is in a much better position than the other so the agent is seeing if the lower one will match the higher one but even if they can't we will accept it anyway.
I had a look at some similar posts to mine on here and was quite shocked at how defensive some people get when they ask for advise on their houses. Why ask for advise if you aren't going to listen to it?0 -
I wonder that too.I had a look at some similar posts to mine on here and was quite shocked at how defensive some people get when they ask for advise on their houses. Why ask for advise if you aren't going to listen to it?
I know some people can be a bit harsh with their opinions of the house but they are trying to help. If you ask for opinions
that's exactly what you'll get :cool:
I think you should get a special MSE badge to say you listened to advice and acted on it :beer:
Can't find anything that's suitable so please add your own words to this one

Huge congrats - and thanks again for taking advice
Yes, you're right, some ask for advice and either don't want to hear it (or don't provide all the info and get defensive when you tell them you're not psychic lol).
Thanks for the update!

It also shows that we (ahem) all know what we're talking about.
I shall be even more sanctimonious on the next "what's wrong with my house" thread now!
But good on you for taking criticism (with your big girl pants on) and actually posting back here to let us know. Keep updating this thread with progress....0 -

No idea, though.
Yes, that's exactly how they can do it. The same thing happened when we sold our last property.Google street view was showing tha car park at the rear rather than the gardens at the front. Not rocket science but the EA mustn't even have checked the link.0
