Pellet, maybe you should add that info to other Southampton thread (the big one) so more people will see it. Interesting stuff! ETA: this one here http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/ind...?showtopic=2206

Isn't Astons an independent too? That would make The Quadruple A's

I don't know the area but I think £164,950 would probably be a good price if the house was in good condition... I wouldn't offer more than £140K for it as it is. As for the second house, I find Morris Dibben tend to overprice so no surprise there.

I noticed the same thing around here (Shirley/Freemantle are), prices have gone down a bit but most are still high and a lot of sellers (or their EA) are not ready to acknowledge that their house is not worth what it's really worth. The most common problem I find is houses in need of updating but the owners still want to sell at the same price at what a fully modernised house would sell. Fortunately, there are a few houses perfectly priced though (from people who really need to sell, no doubt), we just need to find the one that suits us!
