for those with there house for sale how low are the silly offers coming in at ?

Doozergirl

Something like

"Anecdotals - How much of your asking price did you acheive (bearing in mind, if it's too much for our liking, we'll slag you off and imply you'll never make it completion regardless of whether your asking price was half that of next door) OR How much did you get off the asking price (because it wasn't low enough, you muppet)"

Is that too long?

Seriously, I dunno. That's why I told you to start it.

My house is worth what im asking , if i cant sell for a reasonable figure in this market i will just wait - what makes people think that i would be that desperate to let it go so cheap - you can not buy anything for £115,000 or £127,000 in the area i live !

Well, the purchaser has no idea of your circumstances and shouldn't care what you think. They offer you money, you decide whether to accept it or not. A savvy purchaser is always going to offer as little as possible and see what happens.#

I think you mean
They're speaking to their financial advisor later.

The moderation policy on HPC means that only bears post there so although some worthwhile opinions it can be a little odd when half a conversation gets historically editted. Here's a thread on another forum explaining it.

I am also a member of global HPC..... on HPC it is "the place that shall not be named!" (you can get banned for it i think!)

So anyway, not been in a while, must go and catch up and see whats going on!

It's quite funny that the OP is here concerned about someone offering 20% below asking price... when someone on here asks about buying, what do we tell them?

Offer 20% less than asking price!

I have a coffee cup which I would not be willing to sell for less than £150,000.

Therefore it is worth £150,000.

You still don't get it. Asking price does not equate to worth.

I have a coffee cup which I would not be willing to sell for less than a million. Therefore it is worth a million. :rotfl:

Therefore I am a millionaire. Or the owner of a coffee cup . . .

Lizzie you're young and have only seen and experienced a boom. This is clearly not your fault but you should be aware that we dont just have booms we have busts, In fact we have a bust every 18 years on a cycle going back 400 years!

In the last boom when I was young and naieve I bought a 4 bed detached in Peterborough for 55.000 on a mortgage of about 6% if my memory serves. I had a car and a motorbike and I watched with glee and wanton abandon as my house rose in value and I Mewed to live the high life. Then it all crashed. My mortgage went upto 17% and I handed the keys in and moved back in with mum with only my cat to my name and massive debts. The house, my house was sold for 44 grand at auction after achieving the heady heights of 128k at its peak. The bank and Eversheds pursued me for 12 years for over 80 grand I never payed them but also during that time I suffered terrible bad nerves and stress and also could not take on any other assetts otherwise they would have been over me like a shot! Thankfully that debt is now gone due to the high court ruling and the 12 year cutoff :j and my nerves are better :T

This post below is the easily the best summary of where we are at and why the massive injections of cash from the central banks will not save the sinking ship. It is a long read but will also open your eyes and place you in the vaunted position of having your OWN knowledge and so put you in the 0.1% of the UK and indeed world population that do! The other 99.99% do not have their own knowledge and rely on the press and Crusty (who is an idiot) so we like to call them Sheeple.

I also suggest reading over xmas Fred Harrisons excellent book "Boom, bust and the depression of 2010" This book details with evidence boom bust cycles going back over 400 years of economic data and is a most worthy read. If only our stupid Governments would apply the simple methods in it we would not have to keep going throught his cycle

All the best and merry xmas

Lol I read hpc everyday, (much more than mse) and Ive never even heard of global HPC.

So I guess those moderators have done a good job of deleting those links :rotfl:
