zzg113 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 It's b0llocks. The concept of a "fixed price" has no legal basis in England and Wales. It's simply a desperate (and ultimately futile) attempt by the EA to prevent people from making an offer for what THEY think the property's worth.

AteMoose Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) Indeed, somone told me the price you see on shops (sat in the supermarket) is just a guide price, legally your allowed to buy/put an offer in at any price however the vendor (for example say tescos) is within his rights to regect your offer....

The Masked Tulip Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I would suggest that this calls for a piece of A4 with a tentative offer, say 40% less than the asked for fixed price, to be stuck through the letter-box! Perhaps add, with the housing market on the verge of a collapse, the offer only stands for 7 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleBubbleTrouble Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Yeah we use "Fixed Price" on properties in Scotland when they can't get sold "Offers Over" but you can still offer under the "Fixed Price". The thing that is different here is that if you offer the "Fixed Price" amount the property is yours. You can't get Gazumped like you can down south.

Tonyb69 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I posted something similar a few weeks back from my area. Called the EA and it turned out to be open to offers. Apparently it was how the vendor wanted to adertise the property. Looking at Ourproperty.co.uk it turned out the "Fixed Price" was the same as the vendor paid 12 months earlier.

Serpico Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 It's what they owe the bank/mortgagee and MEW or they won't let them sell it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get Gazumped like you can down south. It also means after survey it becomes legal binding...a great way to operate, so choose carefully....
