That’s odd

April 27th, 2005 • Filed Under •

Just had the man from Haart around to value the place. I was expecting to show him around, answer a few questions, and wave him off after five minutes (which is what the two previous valuers had done). But this chap proceeded to get busy, measuring the rooms, taking photos, and so on. I wonder what that implies.

Didn’t manage to extract a valuation figure from him, but I’ll get that from his office later today.

    Well Nik,

    usualy the valuations that are carried out by an Estate Agent on behalf of a developer are not normaly disclosed to the homeowner. The reason that the Agent measured up is that he was hoping to win the instruction from the developer assuming the property was bought in and doing the measurements now would save time in the long run.

    I have many years experience as an Agent and also have worked for several National Housebuilders happily I can say Persimmon were not one of them

    Hello Nik

    I am in the process of buying a house from Crest Nicholson in Somerset. Considering the fall in the housing market, one would expect the Crest to reduce the house prices. This does not seem to be the case. In your experience, what is the ideal way to go about doing this.
