Have got another EA booked in, will be interesting to see what they come up with. I agree I will put it on for what I want, but want to also be realistic and not be one of these who is over priced and wont sell the house for ages. I have taken the prices for the 3 beds on the actual sold house prices on zoopla etc. They are slightly bigger and have a garage which is why I realise mine will be cheaper....but 20k odd cheaper? I doubt it, they arent stupidly bigger so im a bit unsure

Maybe he is on the right track then? My next door neighbours 2 bed which is a quarter of the size just went for 109k, which made me think maybe he was pulling a fast one. To be honest I am a newbie to all this being in my early twenties, but after reading everything on here it just made me wonder....

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....?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times before but I really havent got a clue. I will be looking to put my property on the market at the beginning of next year, with the plan being on buying an older property and refurbishing it. Now a number of properties I have seen I would like to extend. Is there anyway of knowing whether I could get planning permission on a property to extend it before I bid/purchase it? The last thing I want to do is buy a 2 bed house with potential, get refused planning permission and then I am stuck with it
