Unfortunately I'll almost certainly be proved wrong by describing the price as kite flying... some mug will come along and pay it, completely oblivious or unconcerned about the fact that it's 25% higher than 18 months ago.

janch Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 But....but....I've just seen the opposite....lots of lovely reductions. Every week (on Saturday) for the past few years I've looked at all the properties added in the past 7 days on RM in various places along the M4 and this year for the first time I've found 50% reductions in Cardiff!! 81/164 (allowing for double entries). I thought the HPC would start in London and then spread outwards but it looks like it's leapfrogged as nowhere else I monitor has this many reductions. Maybe Ros has put her property empire on the market and it ain't selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electrogear Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The kite-fliers seem to have packed their bags around here (East Yorkshire) - seeing some *reasonably priced 3/4 bed houses and plenty of reductions this month. *"reasonably" within the context of the bubble.

Jimmyboy Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 This is a place in Tideslea Path, West Thamesmead. http://www.primelocation.com/for-sale/details/42605542?utm_source=Trovit&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=sale-2017#GXQwy9WvTbhTbfYd.97 It has just been listed and the EA may have had finger trouble when compiling the listing, as it is priced around £200K higher than the asking price of similar flats! The front facing 2 bed 2 bath flats sell for £260-295K and only penthouses normally achieve over £300K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever_Renter Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hi I'm new. Yes I have noticed this...very much so in South London where we were looking to buying in 2014/15. Once flats were going up what seemed to be about £5k a month and being sold for 10% over the asking price, we gave up. Below is an example of a 1 bed flat in Forest Hill on Zoopla - you can see that they were really trying it on a few months back with an asking price of £450k...but they've since loped £80k back off it! This is still a little higher than the sort of prices were seeing in 2015 but not much. http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/40245137?search_identifier=bf5c16a8a909a00309b3c3451a092e0c#ZTgM3sC58Hfqjh3L.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for not buying and bailing out some ass**** with your earned money. I'm guessing your job is location dependant?

Forever_Renter Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Wow that really puts the sums of money into perspective! Unfortunately my wife's job leaves us very much tied to London. i'm glad we didn't buy at the time but we are limbo now really. If we continue to rent, we will continue to spend £15k/year+; but if we buy, even our decent sized deposit could be eaten up within a year if there's a crash/correction. I suppose we are in the same boat as many and with everyone around us telling us to "get on the ladder". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CunningPlan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Have prices really gone up 30% in 15 months in Stockton on Tees? From this - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detailMatching.html?prop=50320879&sale=82318848&country=england To this - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-61748981.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-percent Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I offer this example. 650k and the highest price achieved for the road is 150. It's been on and off the market for a good few years. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-43206640.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
