FPTV EP 285: OVERVALUING TRICKS AND TRAPS: How to Stop Them Spoiling Your Move

When an estate agent values your home at more than you expected, it’s natural to be thrilled. But it’s wise to employ some healthy scepticism around whether a price is achievable, or an overvaluing ploy.

We’re all for being bold with asking prices, but it’s quite another thing to deliberately overvalue someone’s home, tie them down with a lengthy contract, and mess up their moving plans.

It’s a sad fact that overvaluing by agents is getting out of hand: seducing you with flattery rather than facts, preying on your trusting nature, and falsely boosting your hopes.

The trick involves a carefully orchestrated process of signing you up, then gradually blaming the market for the lack of progress until, eventually, a price reduction is recommended. Reluctantly, of course.

Fortunately estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh are on hand to give the right information to see right through the tactics.

It Takes 29 Days to Sell a Home in Fife

If you are a Fife homeowner or landlord thinking about selling your property, one of the first questions you will ask is simple, how long will it take?

The honest answer is that it depends. Location, property type, number of bedrooms, price point and market conditions all play a part. To give Fife homeowners some clarity, I have analysed the latest data from the 59 Fife homes, building plots, commercial units and mobile homes etc, that have sold subject to missives in the last three months. This covers Fife town centre plus a one-mile radius.

Of the properties that have sold subject to missives, the overall average time from coming to market to sale agreed is 29 days. This is split down as follows by type and bedrooms. Watch/Read/Listen https://fifeproperties.co.uk/it-takes-29-days-to-sell-a-home-in-fife/
