    How much under?
    £10k originally, now £6.5k
    Edge of the seat stuff, excellent, can just imagine the HPI collective sending out "3k...3k...3k...and the garden shed goes with the seller" across the psychic telegraph wires.
    I have no idea what this means haha

    We put a blue door in looks like we may need to change that again if we want to sell.
    i very much doubt a selling point for a house is the colour of the front door ...
    The colour of my door was a big plus when comparing to the rest of the street (Navy blue in case you were wondering)
    Debt Free 03 Dec 2014/£25k repaid

    It's funny what people consider good and bad service. When viewing properties I absolutely *hated* the EA trying to sell me the property. I would much rather they wait outside will I look around in my own time!
    But how do you know which is the kitchen and which is the bathroom without an agent to help?

    Oh and I just remembered the agent who wouldn't let us view the house because there was an open day booked for a week ahead.  The house never sold and is now off the market.

    That could be the vendors direct instructions.

    Probably, the "open day" idea is just a sales gimmick in reality.
