Who says prices are falling? Nearly 7.5 million for a 3 bed semi in Slough sounds like a good price to me.

House Price Boomed
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

nice negotiating Jamie!Originally posted by JamieMoles View PostReal price is £245,500.
"hi, I'm interested in the Slough 3-bedder. Yes, that's right, the one with the deathtrap swing, and where the owner's just installed a brand new pair or Marigolds in the kitchen. There's just one little problem - barely worth mentioning from your point of view but it would cut down my admin a bit - only the £7m is above the Stamp Duty threshold. For form's sake could you bring it to say £245,000?...oh, you can't budge below £246,000? My my, they told me to expect a tough cookie negotiator and I'm glad they warned me! Tell you what, I'll meet you half way, because you remind me of my nan. Paperwork's in the post."Comment

Shows what people will pay
To live a mile away from me, Geri spent a few million getting a house down my road and £7.5 seems reasonable for a mile away.Comment
