we’re looking to sell our house, but we’d really like to achieve the amount it was first valued at eight months ago, so far we’ve only had offers which are just not high enough. Do you think that waiting a few more months, say six more months would allow time for the housing market to readjust and therefore be a better time to sell?
My mother passed away recently and we now have her
house on market…we have dropped but dont want
to go too silly as they have worked hard all their lives and it feels wrong to sell at too low a price. I would like to give a good proportion to my son to buy his first house.
What would you suggest? renting for a while and also
how long do you predict this to last? Thankyou.
We now have our house on the market July 2008. This is suggested the worst time to try to sell a house. It has only been on for 3 weeks and no viewings? We have extended the house and decorated throughout as well as refitted kitchen, bathroom, cloakroom and master room. We have also built a separate office and put it on at an agents suggested realistic price for today’s market but no interest. Do you see the market lifting or morgages being offered and well as goverment looking at stamp duty. It appears 2/3 beds are selling under the £250 k bracket but not the 4 beds over this like mine. I feel there is no more we can do to help ourselves in this market but what and when needs to happen for this to change??? Thanks
i would like to sell my house to my son at less than the market value,is this possible
