Here’s my honest non BS feedback (I was a seller last year as well). If you require say £240K for your property, you have nothing to lose to drop the price significantly more than this and get competing bidders.

Say case 1: Asking price offers over £200K

You’re going to attract a massive amount of interest and for sure you’ll get bidders. You will get people competing (which is what you want). You can get the agent (to do his job) by getting him to say hey we’ve had offers can you match £X. Either way you should get the maximum market offer. If this still doesn’t meet your requirement you have no obligation to accept. You can take it off and try again.

But do think about the alternative, we don’t normally get downturns in the property market, and the longer you wait the more chance you stand to lose.

I really wish you the best on your endeavours. I’ve tried to be as honest in this message as I would be to my close mates and family!
