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 don't very often get a resale property very close to a new build price, there is normally a new build premium in the market. (Actually, I know of one popular estate a couple of villages away which does, but people are attracted by the Waitrose on that development).
Do not wait until Friday for this meeting, you are giving them even more time to get past the 14 days. Demand a meeting tomorrow.
I would also be getting one of my friends to make a vague call to the Estate Agent - asking for any details of houses that meet your requirements - when I sold my flat in 2013 - we did it and they were pushing new builds down the road... We moved agent and the flat sold on first viewing.
We recently moved into a new build, and sold a new build. We were with Taylor Wimpey on both houses (same estate, we've moved from a 3 to a 4 bed). We did the Easymover scheme, where TW organised an assisted sale for us. They went with two agencies and we were off the market and sold within three weeks.
