Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostOn my flat. I put it up for sale very recently and before the brochure or HIP were completed, have had 2 viewings and an offer. I think at the peak of the boom my flat might have sold for £210K at a push and I have agreed £159,500. So that's around 76% of the peak of the boom price, or a 24% drop. It is a bit premature in the sales process to accept offers, but a bird in the hand etc.
Next stop may be rentsville.
Anyone know what the conveyancing costs are for selling only? The Estate agent is offering a 'special' price of around £550.Comment

Originally posted by Bumfluff View Post£550 sounds good, I would try and get them to exchange early my buyer pulled out wanted another £15k off week before completion, wasted nearly £2k in legals ggrrrrr I've sold / bought before but this time it's been a far worse experience.
I'm tempted not to engage mine until I'm sure my buyer has his mortgage approved.Comment

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostThe agents valuation was £175K and I said okay, but forget getting business, what's the price if I want to sell, and they said £169K to sell at between £160-£165K. First offer from the buyer was £154K and after negotiation (much BS from agents) final acceptance was £159,500. Even though it's at the solicitor stage (only about a week after my first seeing the estate agents) no doubt the sale could go wrong, what with the news today of more big house price drops, but the buyer is a Dr and appears keen to move and may not attempt to gesunder. I doubt I will be up for gesundering anyway.
If unemployment and repossesions really start rising and prices collapse further 210K boom time flats will probably be worth less than 100K by the end of 2010.Comment
