Good advice and beware of underselling. I bought my flat from a local estate agent it was a good deal. Later I heard he had a really bad reputation for stiffing the seller. Turns out he would rather sell low and profit on high turn over than wait a bit and get the best price. This is because there is absolutely no loyalty from them at all. what do they have that benefits from your getting a decent price/sale? nothing at all. sell it low, get it out of the way and move on to the next one thank you. I still cannot work out what it is that they actually do that a seller benefits from, they certain don't assist buyers in any form.

The market regulates itself...people pay what they're willing to....perhaps he instead over priced the value to get the property on his books before then selling at the market rate? Either way its down to the Seller to accept....no one else.

In the past I have had valuations from a few agents for the same property and then decided on the sale price.
