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.

Still there it seems, and at the same price.......Angela_D_3 said:surely it’s sold by now ? I had 2 offers on Saturday afternoon, over the asking and going to final sealed bids tomorrow. Only went back on the market on Tuesday. Mines nothing special
Is it? Original link from page 1 is showing as no longer on the market. Can't be rrsed to trawl through the thread looking for a subsequent link.0 -
Glad you sold and for a pretty decent price relative to the initial ask.
Thanks for letting us know - its good to see the outcomes.

Well done, good result for you! The SD holiday must have helped? Also you reduced 15k from your original asking price and the garden is quite a decent size? Maybe you got a sale just in time......LittleMax said:@Crashy_Time - we went under offer 3 times for £275k. Final time was November and no chain, but even so took until last week to finally complete (everything is going so slowly).

I would agree with that article about everything taking so much longer. We had a very straightforward transaction with no chain, the buyer was very keen to be in for Christmas. They suffered delays with a mortgage decision which didn't come through until Christmas, and they were worried about starting searches without the decision so delayed submitting search requests. These were in for new year but they didn't get those back until 19 Feb and then we exchanged and completed on 26 Feb. Previously with a similar straightforward transaction in 2015 we did everything in 5 weeks (and that was with a lot of Solicitor queries too).
If people are making offers now they need to make sure they are requesting searches without delay.

You're quoting a post from three months ago - OP has confirmed it's sold since then.NinjaTune said:Crashy_Time said:
