  • We've had a tentative offer a fair bit lower than asking, justified by 'mortgage company says your house is in zone 3, not zone 2'.
    This smells like bullshit to me - it's 5 mins walk from hackney wick station (zone 2) and west of the Lea navigation/QEOP. Added to that I can't even find a proper Zone map for geography, only unofficial estimated overlays. Is this likely to be a private map used by the mortgage provider? Worth trying to get the buyer to debate it with them?

    Hah, yeah. It kinda is. Little to none of the value is based purely on the zone of the place is it? It's about location, convenience, quality, opportunity etc. Just formally reject it. Or reply with we can't accept, but happy to hear sensible offers... Wouldn't even mention their reasoning.

  • Definitely bollocks. Zones are just classifications of Tube stations, no more than that!
