How low can you go - House Prices

[Loya Jirga]

I bought my old council house for £27500 and put it up for sale a few years later for £145000

I accepted £137500

I once bought a job lot of 10 ex-council houses. I didn't care about the price, I just wanted to make 10% profit. The way I see it I got 30 years of free booze and holidays courtesy of the tax payer. Thanks guys it was great

I bought a couple of houses and a hotel last night. I was playing Monopoly. Hahaha.

See if there's anyway you and the home owner can do a deal between yourselves thus leaving out the estate agents ( they want it to go for the highest possible price so they get a bigger % they do bugger all anyway ). Then you've only got to pay for it to be surveyed and solicitors fees ....

Worth a look at Rightmove sold house prices to see what is was purchased for last time and for how much. Gives you some idea of how much equity the seller has in the property, although they off course probably have to buy a property as today's prices too.

Doesnt seem to be any history regarding selling prices. Most houses on the street do. Is this a good thing or bad, seems to suggest they bought the house many moons ago, and potentially no mortgage? Or no mortgage = no rush to sell and hold on until right price?

Just put in the offer you want and see what the estate agent says.

Doesn't mean anything bad or good.

Or, perhaps, people that have lived there a long time but have now passed on.

Might take a drive by later, as the neighbours were out yesterday doing their garden, have a nose.

How does bad weather have an effect?!

More houses are sold at this time of year than any other.

Doesn't that make it seasonal and not weather related?

It depends whether you live in an Ark or not.
