The housing market is mad at the moment, I live in Tottenham, N17.
Our neighbour put her flat on the market, has lived there for 19 years, and the following weekend had 26 people through the door to view it, ground floor 2 bed, with garden, £300k.
No problems getting an offer there, and there were obviously 25 disappointed folks.

I feel so lucky that the missus had here own place already. I just unpacked.
Though we are now feeling the squeeze with me working at home, using the spare bedroom and the kid needing more space. sigh.

Glad I'm out of this game nowadays.
I'm considering viewing this one right round the corner too:
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-pri...ountry=england
Its interesting as it was sold on 24 Jan for £194k and then went back on the market on 11 Feb for £290k. It was reduced to £275k beginning of April. It looks like an investor has bought it and done it up (from what I can tell: loft conversion, new kitchen/bathroom, new floors and magnolia throughout) and maybe got a bit greedy. As an estimate they've probably spent between £30-40k on it so very unlikely to drop to £250k but you never know...they might be desperate to get out and get their money back. They'd still make a small profit. No harm in looking.Last edited by TheCyclingProgrammer; 6 May 2014, 11:50.

We viewed 6 properties first time around, and the one we bought we viewed first on 21st July, 2nd time on 23rd July and moved in on one of the first few days of October......
This time around, I think we have viewed 12 or 13.....all in late March, and are now awaiting the full mortgage offer and hopefully heading towards exchange. We had an AIP of almost 50% more than the sort of value property we were after, but found a very nice 5-bed detached that we offered on after 1st viewing!
As for our current place, went on the market on a Tuesday, 4 viewings on the Wednesday and 2 offers at full asking the same day....crazy!
