I looked at a place last week, was on the market for 260k was never worth the money as it needed a good 30-40k thrown at it so we offered 200k cash. The agent said he valued it at 220k but the owners said they wanted it on for 260, it sold this week for 260k.But there is no chance of anyone getting a mortgage on it due to the work it needs, so i await the call to say are you still interested and then offer 180k . I think there are people out there who cant see beyond their nose,they will spend money on solicitors etc,get a survey done then find out they cant get the money.

Just an example of its not always the agents who are tits,its the public who make stupid decisions.
