Rics report June 2012 (incase you missed it lol!) and I quote...
Continued increase in the number of properties coming onto the market, complemented by more potential buyers
(viewing and offering). Buyers offering low figures, even on realistic asking prices. Despite the Government's Ne w Buy Schemes and the Bank of Englands credit easing scheme, this is not being filtered through to lenders, thus preventing FTB's
getting onto the property ladder. Increased confidence amoung buyers who have financial ability to purchase, but many making low offers hoping to obtain a bargain.
Just to add...
If EA's are unable to negotiate sales, then somewhere alarm bells must be ringing - and it ain't anything to do with the Olympics!
Don't they want any commission?
EA's have a duty to their clients to stop over valuing properties and assist in making the market move. Realistically priced!!!
And too right I'm out to grab a bargain, I'm working hard for my pennies and have no intention of giving them up without a fight
Rant over!
