It seems not, might try another that is within our budget so probably won't test the theory to that degree again. Was hoping it might be the case of an agent marking up from what they were actually willing to sell at. Fwiw these two have been on a while and, I feel, were asking a lot for what they are but probably just waiting out the 'good catchment' to pay off, someone will take it eventually for that alone.
We kind of just wanted the sale agreed to we could start looking in earnest but your right to an extent, stuff hanging around on the books for ages doesn't look good. In the end we got a quick sale and as much as we could have realistically hoped for. Laughably aggressive marketing from the agent with Instagram reels, drone footage complete with composited flock of birds, this is for a very modest 2 bed Victorian so no golf club.
P.s not London so I don't think things ever got quite as hectic here.
I never quite understand this sort of thing. Tempted to say it's not worth it for the agent. From a seller's perspective, maybe your property stays on the market for a bit longer than normal, but we're talking 4 weeks extra, not 4 months!
Presumably congratulations are in order if you managed to accept an offer that you're happy with!
I can understand that. Do you think offering under valuation is the done thing at the moment? Just so I can prepare myself...
