That's what we thought... but we've been with Foxtons for 3 months (stupid move, but we fell for the highest valuation trick) and we've only had a handful of viewings. We even lowered the price halfway and that didn't have an effect.


As our contract is finishing we're now looking to start again with a different agent but not sure who to go with...

Strange you haven't had much interest.

My recommendation would be to speak to Winkworth and get an idea of what a realistic valuation might be.

The main guy in sales, Oliver, has always come across as genuine and knowledgable about the current market.

Worth ringing him or popping by for a chat...assuming there's nothing in the Foxton's contract to prevent you from doing this!

One of the more open agents informed me that, while it seems prices are rocketing, actually, only a very few props are changing hands. Ie there are about five buyers around in the entire market. This is fine as there are only around five sellers too, according to him. That all means to say: the purported rises could easily go the other way as it would only take those five buyers to be absorbed elsewhere for there to be zero interest and commensurate price drops.


His view not mine necessarily!

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
