Viterbi Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 My house has been valued at £65k. It is a 3 bedroom former local authority semi in the midlands. Soon it will be up for sale. Don't all rush at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viterbi Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 It seems strange that some people are prepared to offer more than the asking price whilst previously complaining that this drives up house prices. I am thinking of advertising the house in London as strictly for FTBs and BTL can bugger off. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with £100k and the buyer thinking he has a bargain. I will then tell him there are similar properties in the neighbourhood also for sale around the £65k mark so he hasn't got a bargain after all. The trouble with HPC is that it is filled with Londoners who think England ends at Watford when it doesn't. It is still quite easy for a FTB on a £20k salary to get on the housing ladder if they know where to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that quite a few people can't move their job from London, though - might be a bit more difficult to buy the house with no income at all therefore(well, there are probably mortgage brokers that could still sort that for you, however...)
