Bobajobbob Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It remains to be seen whether we will get to completion but for what it is worth I put a house on the market with a realistic asking price a week ago and have received an offer at full asking today.

slaar Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) My gf's house in N London went last week. Sold for £450,000 in 2002, she bought at £850,000 in December 2007 (! to the price rise, although it was completely renovated beautifully in between, at least £100,000 of work)), completed last week at £795,000 (6.4% down from peak, only). Asking was £825,000. They had a decent deposit but needed a mortgage. We're pleased to say the least as there was a big mortgage on it and now we'll hopefully sit out the next phase. Thank goodness for the dead cat bounce. Edited August 17, 2009 by slaar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telometer Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 My gf's house in N London went last week. Sold for �450,000 in 2002, she bought at �850,000 in December 2007 (! to the price rise, although it was completely renovated beautifully in between, at least �100,000 of work)), Price rise would have been considerably greater in SE1 where December 07 price would have been 1.1m under similar circumstances. (!!! to the price rise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
