Have been thinking of selling my property for a few months but was going to try myself just after xmas. Ive found out a friend of a friend is looking for a house like mine on my estate so I thought I would get it valued.
The EA turns up today, nice guy and all and after a quick 2/3 minute look around he says because of what else is going in the area etc I should look at putting it up for 120k as I would be lucky to get my money back (122k).
Now my house is just over 2 years old, I bought it brand new and was fully equipped plus a lot of extras that someone paid for, but then failed to produce the mortgage. Because of this I came in at last minute and got the property for £121,995 instead of the £133,995 that all the other 3 beds went for.
Now am I nieve in thinking I should (or more than likely) get my money back plus a bit more? Obviously it is hard to say but I do feel a bit conned by the quote of 120k. Houses on the estate are selling & comparing them to 3 bed town houses I think it is reasonable (they are going for 140k+). Is he trying to take me for a ride....?
