Our agent has said to beat the market and price the house to sell by going lower than the asking price before the prices drop any further, really thinking about it and taking the risk of taking just 10k as trev has a job to start asap.
better to be living our dream than stuck in our nightmare

Just found this on the houseladder website - looks quite promising:)
The UK property market is not likely to crash and prices should pick up towards the end of the year.
The UK property market is not likely to crash and prices should pick up towards the end of the year.
Assetz believes that talk of a major property price crash is unfounded and said that prices are merely levelling out following years of rapid growth.
The firm admitted that headline rates of growth are slowing but pointed out that further reading into price movements paints a different picture.
"Three monthly average house prices paint a much clearer picture of market performance and reveal that average annual price growth has now flat-lined at around zero per cent, with no significant decline having taken place," commented Stuart Law, chief executive of Assetz.
"As I have been stating for some time now, the housing market is very unlikely to crash. The fundamental economics of supply and demand support this," he added.
Mr Law also forecast that house price growth would reach five per cent by the end of 2008.

How did I know you would be on this thread
Thats a good bit of news. If the press would stop going on about it and the banks would spread a bit of the millions pounds profit about a bit we would all be selling our house!
By the way Nicky I see by your new photo you have lost a bit of weight.
Ha ha. Not feeling too bad about it all today really. Just trying to stir up some positivity because it really can get to you can't it.
Cheeky mare about the weight but my tan is good

We have been on the market for a couple of weeks, had 6 viewings but no offers. They keep saying they don't want a downstairs bathroom. It says it on the details so why come and look at the house?
Have another viewing tomorrow so keeping my fingers crossed.

Just a quickie - Our EA said that buyers are getting greedy and wanting more and more for their money so either waiting it out or going in with ridiculous offers. They know that houses aren't selling so are trying their luck. I would too if I was in their position, bad luck for all of us though.
yeah blame it all on the buyers
Absolutely nothing to do with greedy sellers wanting those buyers to commit themselves to 40 years of slavery to life in a run down house in a crappy area with junkies for neighbors.
Its our money, we are the ones who are left who were not stupid enough to follow Labours advice to go bonkers spending money we didn't have, squeal all you like it wont change a god damn thing.
