PropertyLog gives you a good feel for seller sentiment.getmore4less said:You need to work out what people are buying and what they might be paying.
Do a more like this comparison.
count the for sale numbers and SSTC numbers
Look at the SSTC around your price point and ask yourself why did they buy that one not mine
you can also look at the Sold price data but that lags the SSTC data but you get an idea of how close to asking places have been going for.
eg if I do a sample of a quite wide area of S.London. for 1bed flats (for sale/SSTC) with parking0-200 79/45 0-300 424/285 0-400 809/574 0-500 1012/707 0-max 1063/718
you can adjust to your area and price bands to see where you fit in the pecking order.
Some stuff is selling but there is a lot of choice
might be worth looking at the more recent SSTC to see if they are priced right or price drops.
