nickmunich   10 #26 Posted July 4, 2007 An estate agent ringing a client with a hot property this can't be Sheffield!! I wonder if the sealed bids scenario will be shown, can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
metalman   21 #27 Posted July 4, 2007 Funny how Kirstie and Phil manage to get two houses under the asking price whereas anybody else has to bid up and up and then pay well over the asking price under the Sheffield system. Has anyone on here ever paid below the asking price in Sheffield? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Has anyone on here ever paid below the asking price in Sheffield?  Yes, I thought that was very dodgy. Did they show the estate Agents name on the programme.? Was it a bit of publicity for them ?

Has anyone on here ever paid below the asking price in Sheffield?  We managed to. I think we just got lucky. Of course wasn't a 3/4 million £ property in Dronfield.

eralc   10 #33 Posted July 4, 2007 Hey, I was just relieved to find it wasn't kirsty and phil who outbid us on a house a few months back.  House buying fantasy land... .. "oh, there's another bid on but we won't let a little thing like that worry us since we're dealing with tv gods!" ... "yes, of course we'll get back to you with an answer before you even finish your pint...'  Still, nice to see some lush shots of Sheffield taken from suspiciously low angles!  Clare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dozy   11 #34 Posted July 4, 2007 Funny how Kirstie and Phil manage to get two houses under the asking price whereas anybody else has to bid up and up and then pay well over the asking price under the Sheffield system. Has anyone on here ever paid below the asking price in Sheffield?  Yup!! But that was only because we didn't understand the system up here! In Birmingham, where we moved from, if somebody said "offers around" the figure that followed was the one they hoped to achieve in their wildest dreams!  Dozy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Has anyone on here ever paid below the asking price in Sheffield?  This is exactly the conversation that was going on in our house! And no, we didn't pay below the asking price - quite the opposite like many others in Sheffield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
