My house went up for sale a few weeks ago. I marketed it at significantly less than the first price suggested by the agent because I want a quick sale. I accepted an offer a few thousand below the asking price and everything was going swimmingly until...the survey came back on Friday. The mortgage lender’s surveyor has valued it at £11,000 less than the offer and my purchasers want to renegotiate. If I had been greedy and grasping and put my house up for the max price, I could understand the survey valuation better. Reviews for the company - Countrywide Surveying - are overwhelmingly awful - they make a practice of undervaluing, I have no idea why.
Aibu to ask if you have been in a similar situation and, if so, how it was resolved? What would you do?
