Lazybones Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Thats still pretty amazing to see something on for rent at £1000 but similar up for sale around 500K!! Agreed, but what event will encourage people to reduce prices, I can let this one go and the next eventually you run out of desirable place and end up paying the same price for less desirable house? catch 22?

threetimesdead Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 The above link was a company sale, I looked at it last year. A relocation company bought the house for 597k in 2007 and put it back on the market at 525k. I offered 450K a year ago and they said no, then they changed agents and said it had been let for 2 years, it was occupied for a few months but has been empty since feb. Agent says they will wait for the market to pick up and put it back on again. Needs a lot of work min 100k maybe double that (roof, windows, kitchen, asbestos garrage roof, new heating system etc) in my view but similar house on the same street is on the market at close to 800k, although its not sold!IMHO there are mabe one or two big houses in southport worth 1m+ but the rest are overpriced places that sould be in the 5 to 700k range which they were in 2006, appears that the bigger houses have gone up a lot since 2006/7 which does not mirror a lot of the comments/expectations on this site. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sa...25%26index%3D20 #£275,000 4 bedroom detached house for sale Dover Road Birkdale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazybones Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sa...25%26index%3D20#£275,000 4 bedroom detached house for sale Dover Road Birkdale Here is the estate agent explanation: There are three distinct areas in birkdale, shoreside = prime expensive properties, the village = second most expensive the rest = least expensive. Given that they are only seperated by less than 500 yards you can see the same houses for upto 100% more expensive in shoreside than the rest of birkdale.....

As for the price difference with saxon road see my estate agent explanation above, saxon road falls on the shoreside of birkdale and this house misses it by around 200m :-( i heard from another agent that a house very near will soon be coming on the market for even more, maybe closer to 500+ will see what happens...

geoffk Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 so the pros will not touch houses at these prices..why should you..... i really think that you give too much away to the estate agents....treat them with the contempt they deserve the lying scoundrels. if you can wait you will financially free yourself from so much debt it will be amazing or you can buy now and watch prices go down and have the if only feeling....
