poppet2 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I've just seen a house for sale for £280,001. What's the .001 all about then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elphi 24 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 to put it in the next price bracket when people are looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ01 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's taking the mick, quite rightly, out of all the £279,999 type adverts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexo Posted February 5, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlfc Posted February 6, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 All true. There's no SDLT/HMLR costs difference at that point on the fixed scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted February 10, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
