If your property is priced too high, bear in mind that each month you may spend hundreds of pounds on advertising as well as in most cases having to maintain monthly mortgage payments means that you may lose a lot more than you stand to gain.
There are still some agents out there who seem to be pricing too high or alternatively price very low to get the initial interest and it is true to say that viewers get very annoyed by this strategy, often wasting their time looking at something they can't afford, just because the initial price has been set too low.
One particular story by one of our own clients was that she looked at a property with an initial asking price of £85K only to be told by the vendor that they were expecting to achieve £120K minimum! If this had been marketed properly she wouldn't have bothered to go and look at it as her budget is £90-95K
It pays to shop around when you are considering selling, as you may find that agents valuations can differ by as much as 10-15%.
Some will value it higher to get your business and then ask you to reduce it once it has been on the market for some time. Once you have run up a bill for marketing and advertising costs it is difficult for you to instruct another agent unless you are prepared pay what you are due in full to them.
When you consider that and average marketing fee can cost £160 and an advert in the local press as much as £200, you will soon realise that after just 4 weeks on the market your costs could have spiralled to almost a £1,000 so be careful, and remember the biggest isn't always the best, but they are normally much more expensive!
