That should read original asking price 🤦🏻‍♀️

I believe it's a buyer's market, I'm planning to go on the market soon.

I'm mentally preparing myself that whatever the estate agent suggests as an asking price I'm likely to end up dropping the price considerably in the end.

Is this realistic?

It's been hugely stressful getting to this point and I want to make it as easy as possible for myself now.

Sold Jan 2025
Kent commuter area
Four estate agents valued our property and we valued it aswell on £/m2
We marketed it on an average valuation approx £1mill

We sold for 1% below the asking
of note
desirable Cathedral town
best road in area due to little traffic, all detached properties and huge gardens ( not otherwise available in the area) , walking distance to private schools, grammars and the quant high street.

We could have held out for the asking but we had already bought our next property and just wanted shot
