  • Foxtons were almost tempted to try over 575 but felt that was crackers

    Standard MO for Foxtons:-

    • Appeal to greed by quoting a ludicrously high valuation to get people to sign up to them
    • First few weeks you'll have lots of viewings but no offers as they show a bunch of people round who won't be interested because it'll be nothing like what they've asked Foxtons for, out of their price range or in completely the wrong area
    • Then suggest you drop the price (to roughly what was a more sensible valuation)
    • Eventually sell it (despite being incompetent fuckwits)
    • Profit (for Foxtons)
  • Sounds about right. I saw a place from then that’s since dropped 50k. Although they claim to achieve asking price 90% of the time.

    But yeah, not usually a fan.
