Who was the agent? I know Kingston pretty well and as a historic suburb with superb shopping facilities within commuting distance of London it should be one of the last places to see big drops. Having said that it is massively overpriced! IMO.

Most places in Surrey are massively overpriced

I don't know the agent, I'll try and remember to ask. Charter Quay is the development, on the river bank.

They decided not to sell.

Were they selling to rent? Or had negative equity? Cus otherwise given that the property they would move to would also be suitably reduced I cant see why they chose not to sell?

Sorry to interupt. I haven't really got much to add, other than to say that it was easier to find a Rightmove link to your property than I thought it would be.

I won't paste a link here, that would be an infringement upon your privacy.

Having established the postcode, I did a search on:

http://www.nethouseprices.com

..and found that a terraced house on the same road sold for 115k at the end of September (number 43).

I don't know the area, let alone the street, so couldn't possibly comment upon any differences between the two properties; but I would imagine that it is this figure that the prospective buyers have based their offer upon.

Of course, I might be wrong, and you may not be listed on Rightmove at all.

Good luck.

Hi there,

Just another thought.

Had a quick look at what else is for sale in your area, and see that there is a similar property on the market three (?) doors down. This was originally marketed 109 days ago, and went multi-agency 77 days ago. The price is within afew hundred pounds of yours. Difficult to compare dimensions, as your listing does not show room sizes; but the other house is shown as having an 80 foot garden, while the picture of your garden does not make it appear to be 80 foot.

Is your list price based upon the house 3 doors down?

Any potential buyers are going to be weighing up your house, against the other one. Do you have any unique selling points that might count in your favour? I note that the other house is available with immediate vacant posession.

If I assume that the other house has been marketed at the existing price for the entire four months (propertysnake does not tell me any different), it would seem unlikely that you will find a buyer at close to £140k in the near future (unless of course something wildly unexpected happens with the housing market).

As I said previously, I am not an expert in this area, and am only making assumptions based upon the details/photos that I can see online.

Hope this helps.

Yes I agree with what you're saying.

No STR ambitions or neg eg, - they are just considering a bigger place... - but from what I gather they're not overly bothered about moving at all tbh. Just interested to know what their options are.

It's worrying that you have to explain that...

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 !

I dont mean to offend but is it YOU saying your house is worth this much? Dont forget the person/people buying will offer as much as they think it is worth (okay you will get your 'chancers') but just because you say it is worth £xx does not mean your buyers do. Property is only worth what people are prepared to pay for it and nothing more.

I think the whole process is called 'haggling' :rolleyes:

Perhaps in a few months, your son will be able to empty his piggy bank and buy the house in question!:rotfl:

Or more likely he'll just inherit the negative equity.

You can see why both Labour and the Tories were so quick to increase the inhertiance tax threshold. They know full well that there'll be bugger all left to inherit!
