Hello all,
Hopefully someone here will be an expert and able to help :) if not i will google!
I own a house, it has been valued at £215,000. A shocking price for the property and im glad i wont be the one paying it (instead i will be paying over the odds for someone elses)
I have had 3 estate agents round and they all came up with £215 when asked if i could make the house be worth more (do up the kitchen/Paint something etc) i was told it was already at the max price so i would be wasting my money.
The house comes with a garage in a block about 30 seconds walk from my front door. I asked each estate agent if that added any value to the house as all 3 valued it at £215k before they knew about the garage and all of them said the garage adds no value.
I looked into it and it seems garages sell for a fair bit (5-8k) So is it worth selling the garage seperatly and then selling the house? Any legal issues? :)
Oh and it seems placing a value on a property is easy - look what others sold for and add a bit. :(
Thanks in advance
