Friend: Are you managing to get viewings arranged?
EA: Yes.
Friend: How many?
EA: Two.
Friend: For today?
EA: This week.
The area has some 800 properties on the market.
Glad someone is busy.
I imagine this is the OP's problem, buyers are non-existent at the moment, at any price.0 -
what you need to do is, put the price up by 5 grand a week.
that way , a FTB will panic and buy it before it goes up in price some more!
trust me, it has worked for the last 10 years!!0 -

EA propaganda!
if you try to sell something above its market rate it will not sell
if you try to sell something below market rate it will sell fast
if you try to sell at market rate it will take a while but sell in time
slash 50% off the price and id bet my left ******* it would be sold within a week!
the honest answer is, someone takes 2% off and wonders why it is still not selling.
if a seller wants 100% honest advice, drop your price every 2 weeks until it sells (and i mean by 5% not £500 a week!)
its odd how people con themselves when selling homes, if someone was trying to sell a car for more than market rate would you tell them (none are selling, paint it magnolia, the correct buyer hasnt seen it yet, wait until someone falls in love with it) . you would slap them and say reduce the price you tit0 -
The OP isn't going to like my opinion, but I think the house looks drab, dull and boring. It doesn't have one redeeming feature; nothing about it stands out. The rooms are on the small side, the kitchen is dated, the bedrooms are cramped, the furnishings look cheap (so prospective buyers subconsciously assume the area must be cheap too) and the garden looks like a disused one-time allotment.
And what's all this with the EA pointing out that the pond has tadpoles in it? And a couple of frogs?:rotfl:0 -
>No more replys will be necessary<
LOL. I bet when the phone rings in the EA they draw straws to see who has to speak to the crabit biddee.0 -

Now £10K per week is it? Thot it was £5K per week?
:rolleyes:
It depends on the value of the property dumbass!!!
£5k off of a £100k property, £10k off of a £200k property.

Um no that's what I've been saying since the first day I joined.... it's worth what someone will pay not what someone would accept for it... buyersdecide prices not sellers. Are you thinking of someone else?
For a start I've used that text about 50 times...Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0 -
I'd have the EA under the property misdescriptions act. Bet there's no tadpoles there now!0
