Originally posted by OrangeHopperNeighour is selling his house, which is identical to ours, for £40000 more than last year's asking price for our model. That is greater than a 10% rise.
That is what they are asking for but from what the estate agents I have been talking to have said, not many houses are fetching the asking price at the minute. I am not in London so that market may be different.
A lot of the houses we have looked at over the last 4 months are still on the market. We have just accepted an offer on ours after reducing the price by £15k and are looking to bank the capital (£200k) and rent for 6-12 months while we look for another. Not just gambling on the house market dropping but that we want to live in an area where houses don't come up that often so being a cash buyer is a big advantage.
Still, if the market does take a tumble then we will have timed it quite well!
Fingers crossed...Comment

All those eastern europeans in the service industry jobs, will they go or will they stay now?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
