Selling our house and had ridiculous offers recently

dc197

I can't wait to see the house.
A bit of sleuthing suggests it's a three-bed with several outbuildings on a decent plot.

EA prolly over pricing to hype the market up. Just let the EA be your buffer. Instruct them to not accept overs below xx.

Send a letter before action to the couple for the damage with some photos and a cost for replacing damage flowers/plants.

OP's other post makes it clear that theirs is a 3-bed:

So someone values your AONB beauty home less than you do. Suck it up and move on.

Two offers since the end of April suggests your EAs valuation is too high, or there's a limited market for a unique property.

List it with the local EA and negotiate their fee to a more favourable %age.

That's the life of a sales person.

Usually that's what the estate agent deals with for you. However when you instruct an online agent and must do the viewings yourself you take on that job.

With a dutch barn with 2 inspection pits - not many of those around. If you look at the floorplan I would describe the house linked to as a 3 bed.

Yes I would say that is it, by the description, as the bedroom described as number 4 would normally be a dining room would it not, that 'could' be a bedroom.

Looking at the houses on offer within close proximity and price to your house, I now don't see an offer of 60% of the asking price as quite as ridiculous as first appeared.

Doesn't guide price mean anything anymore?

It means precisely as much as it ever did.

Three high street agents agreed on our asking price

That's nice, dear. Apparently no potential buyer agrees with them, though.

and I would never have the cheek :mad: to view a property that was so out of our reach.

Others may, of course, vary. Perhaps your online agent just aren't terribly good at qualifying potential viewers before booking them in with you?

The referendum has apparently made folk silly.

I agree, generally, but I'm really not sure what it has to do with your house not selling.

Maybe advertising it as a 4 bedroom is one of the problems.


In my mind at that price you would want 4 proper bedrooms upstairs and at least one en suite.

Absolutely.

Or alternatively, I didn't realise it was still half-term!
