Neighbours subsidence

The house opposite us has subsidence and the estate agent has asked for a cash buyer. The agent is also Foxtons and has overpriced it by about £2-300k. I am going to be looking out at a very run down, empty house for a looong time, aren't I?

They've overpriced it by £300,000? Are you sure that figure is right? but yes, you're likely to be looking at a collapsing house for some years to come.

Not true, saw a house with Foxtons that was on the market for £2n and eventually sold for &1.3m with foxtons. They cut the price every four weeks, wait and see and by a lot (100k). So, it will sell soon if the seller listens to Foxtons. We rented through Foxtons once. House on the market at 1,100 per week, I offered 550, we settled on 625. They are the most open to offers as they are listed on the

Sorry I didn't finish my sentence. They are listed on the stock market and shareholders want to see revenue and profit. So relax, it will sell for much less, guaranteed and within 6 months if sellers is reasonable

Thanks for your replies folks. Foxtons have priced it as much as the fully 'done' houses round here. But it was lived in by a very old lady who recently passed on - nothing has been done to it since the 1960s and the builders who are working for me and were asked to quote for the work say it needs about £2-250k work to modernise and underpin it. So yes, I think they have massively overvalued it...But y'know, thats Foxtons for you. It has already been on the market for 6 months and is looking pretty dilapidated now
