    Why is it vastly more expensive than any other comparable sale on Ashlin Court?

    I think the 4 in this row are 2 bed, the rest are 1 bed.
  • There's 17 in the development.

    9 1 bedroom bungalows (all privately owned with all owners 55+)

    A row of 4 2 bed terraces (the one mine is in) 3 rental & mine

    Another row of 4 on the high street (2 rental and 2 private owned)

    As I said, when someone on here referenced the mid-terrace 3 bed with a garage and a bigger house (even though it's storage heaters and not GCH) which sold for 108K at the end of last year.

    I think a realistic selling price is probably more 90-95K

    OP definately worth speaking your neighbours for their LL details and approaching them if you are willing to drop within that sort of range.
  • It is a fixed price and not commission based

    I think this is part of the problem. What incentive has the Estate Agent got to push you house to customers and get you the best possble price?

    I will attempt the de-cluttering as well a significant reduction tomorrow- especially if a similar 3 bedroom property sold at the back end of last year. With it being bigger and a garage selling for 108K the 115k valuing by the EA is way off.

    It is a fixed price and not commission based to pay- so why would it be over-valued by him, what benefits does it serve, being on the books for longer so it’s better for the company?

    Regards.


    Back end of last year people still probably thought May could get her Brexit "Deal" through parliament. The outlook has changed since then.
  • I can’t deny this Brexit ‘thing’ is slowing down housing activity somehow.

    Then again, people still need places to live regardless☺️ Positive mindset there!

    Any time now house prices will crash, we're doomed I tell ya, doomed.
    Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.

    No, we are pretty much doomed if they don`t crash because there will be more and more voter swings to "extremes" - Brexit (seen to reduce numbers competing for housing) - Corbyn (seen to be tough on landlords and into rent controls etc. plus punishing those with second properties etc. etc.) What next, Farage party, Far Right government? As I said previously, Brexit is a direct result IMO of housing costs not being brought under control years ago (they have been pumped up instead with HTB, low rates etc.) so I hope all those who love their HPI are happy with the No Deal Brexit we are now careering towards, you can`t have your cake and eat it I`m afraid :)

    Just make sure that the headaches you get from leaving heating on is not through carbon monoxide poisoning :eek:

    YES! This! It really is a serious thing to get checked

    Im glad somebody else had the same exact thoughts as me when reading the OP

    In regards to the prices etc. As a Landlord, looking at the area, I can't really see much further than #12 that sold for 65k 5 years ago. Yes prices rise, but not that much.

    You'll likely start getting offers of 70-80k from LLs I'd expect as that'd be where I would be
  • No worries on that- there’s a detector next to the boiler which is working☺️

    I’ll update you all with what happens.
