Flexo 10 #6 Posted February 5, 2016 People search Rightmove etc by price band and may not be searching the adjacent bands. A £1 difference can move a house from the top of one band to the bottom of another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mlfc 10 #7 Posted February 6, 2016 People search Rightmove etc by price band and may not be searching the adjacent bands. A £1 difference can move a house from the top of one band to the bottom of another. This is certainly true. The price should, if possible, set to £280,000 exactly as then it will appear in the £270,000 - £280,000 search and the £280,000 - £290,000 bracket. Also, Rightmove lists properties downwards starting from the highest price in a bracket so £280,001 puts this one right at the bottom and less likely to be seen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Waldo 96 #9 Posted February 10, 2016 Also, it's unusual, so draws attention (this thread is evidence of that), which is good if you're selling something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
