Dramatic price increase?

[MaltedMilk88]

Going to view a house later

It sold in October last year for £300k - asking price is now £350k
Can't see any improvements other than a lick of paint in the photos on Rightmove - same kitchen, same bathroom, same fireplaces and so on

Really think this could be "the house" but this price point seems strange and worried about overpaying. Do we really think house prices have gone up that much?

No they have not. Vendors are just trying to it on to see if anyone will bite. I think last year was up to11 percent inany places. Lots of people put a house for sale overpriced so to let buyer think they have bargain when they offer less and of course it is accepted.
