    Sorry gps, but I (and possibly others) am a bit reluctant to get too specific about where I live on a public forum! Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but I'd rather leave it as general area if that's OK...

    i do realise it may not be accurate, was just out of curiosity.
    i think most people are probably being realistic about their prices.
    where are you looking to buy?

    We've been looking in Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Herefordshire!

    west yorks, a couple of months ago

    achieved just over 96% of secondary asking price, after dropping price due to unrealistic valuation after a couple of weeks.

    Hi,

    I am in nortumberland, I got 99.6% which I accepted in sept, we've exchanged contracts and will move on the 18th.

    Other houses in street are now asking about 10k lower so I think we did well to get what we did.

    I accepted an off on 2 Spetmeber in York. Got £180,000 asking price was £185,00, no good with percentages. However, always thought £185,000 was too high to hoped for £180,000

    thank you,

    don't know how they can value your house at the moment though....
    seems like they want to charge for stuff you can find out for yourself.
