Asking prices are not sale prices.
Trying to go through this at the moment as I would like to move. The agent that is advertising our house was straight, as they can be , with us that if we wanted to sell then we're looking at around 20% less (than 2008) with a view of possibly going lower. I'm ok with a 25% hit, there's no way house prices could stay that high forever.
Anyhow, the boss-lady has seen a house she likes, great location, 3 double beds, great bathroom, kitchen needs doing but ok in the short term. So, it doesn't tick all of the boxes (my wants are a bit extreme fo the type of house we're looking at - double garage/workshop in a 3 bed semi), but we could make do.
Turns out we sort of indirectly know the owner, and the house has been empty for 6 years (following a separation) , on the market for sale for over 2 years and not reduced in this time. So, by my thinking, and has mine has reduced in value by 20-25%, I thought an offer of 25% off asking was reasonable. Estate agent didn't even take my wifes name, but said she'd pass the offer on.
So, if we have some sellers prepared to sell at a reduced price and some that don't, what happens next?

Times must be hard, there's a house not far from where we live (it's less than a mile away) that's been reduced by £650k!

Lets be clear, when they say North South divide are they talking about North and South London? No one gives a toss about house prices anywhere else are they are peanuts in comparison?
