MovingtoTasmania Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Heres hoping ours goes on the market next week Fingers crossed for you. I put mine up 2 weeks, had the first viewers the day after it went up for sale and they've finally put an acceptable offer down - it's taken two weeks and they've made 14 offers for my house which I've rejected and finally we have got to the right price!

MovingtoTasmania Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Phew....that sounds like hard work!:mask: Ha, hard work is an understatement! One of the offers was £7k under the asking price and he wanted all the furniture thrown in too. My counter offer to that was full asking only and I'll leave the radiators, bathtub and copper piping in place lol :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortlepuss Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I bet u r somewhere posh like lewes or ditchling:laugh::yes::cute: My house is 2 miles from Lewes and I'd love to move back to the town. Prices there have always been high but the stuff I see now is just stupid money. I assume the wretched 'right to buy' subsidy scheme is inflating prices all over. I was hoping for a correction in the market to give the youngsters a chance. Building smaller affordable housing and capping right to buy at £250k would have been a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest 47403 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We've had our house valued in the last week and we've decided which estate agent to go with and they're back out at 11:30 tomorrow to do the photos/video/totally fleece me, we had a pleasant surprise with our valuation estate agent reckons we will definitely get ten grand more than what we thought, great news for us but......... Why do people think a 8-10% rise is good? Inflation is at 2.5% (ish) and the average UK pay rise last year was around 0.7%............does the words bubble mean anything?

fensaddler Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Let me be blunt. I've lost money on my UK house in the last ten years. Because that house is not in the south east I'll be lucky to see any great price rise. So any increase in prices over there is good news for me when I come to sell in six months time. I don't give a jessies what it signifies for the UK economy or access to the housing ladder. The problem where I came from is anyone having a job, not the price of houses. And getting a bit more might give me half a chance of buying something in Melbourne before prices there force me to move so far out that I'm buying in Indonesia.

Perthbum Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Australia house prices are mental compared to the UK and that is taking wages into account.....renting unless you can self build is the way way to go apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most countries these days have overinflated house prices. It's the easiest way to channel the money up to the top 1%, who just seem to keep getting richer. We pay more for the same thing and think we are making money. This isn't an oz thing, or a UK thing. It's a global thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
