Just had a usual phone conversation with an estate agent

[DimPrawn]

EA "Did you see the properties I emailed to you? What do you think? Nice 5 bed detached house in Esher...blah blah"

DP "Saw it, didn't think it represented good value for money."

EA "That's the price, you either pay it or you don't, there's no negotiating, I've got a waiting list of buyers that will snap up property at almost any price."

DP "Well, I'll look around and see what comes up".

EA "I wouldn't hang about, we sell most houses without even marketing them in today's market, good luck. click"


I think the fact I didn't want to pay £1.4m for an identikit Barratt starter home on a housing estate pissed him off.

I think the fact I didn't want to live in the south east at all pissed him off.

FTFY

He's recognised you for the timewasting Walter Mitty you are.

WHS. At current prices I'm a time waster.

Then the sellers would be able to demand almost any price shirley?

If they sell that quickly then why the **** are they wasting time calling people?

Once the house price crash has completed its course the £1.4m house will be on the market for 200K at most. But then there would be other things to worry about, like buying bread and surviving than worry about house prices.

Not in prime Surrey commuter belt it won't.

PS Dim: Give it up you can't afford it. A million plus for a bog standard home is what it costs here.
