  • Bury: discussing an honest asking price with co-owners

Co-owners may approach an asking price with different expectations. Agreeing how you will assess the evidence can prevent a disagreement becoming a delay.

What to consider

Review comparable properties together and ask the agent to explain differences in size, condition and location. Separate the price you hope for from the sum needed for your next move. Agree how offers and feedback will be shared.

Ask what the comparison actually proves

A useful price comparison considers property type, size, condition, location and the timing of the evidence. Current asking prices show competition, while completed transactions provide a different kind of information. Neither should be used without context. Ask your agent to explain the examples and any limits to the comparison. Keep the suggested marketing price connected to a review plan, so later decisions can respond to evidence rather than an arbitrary target or an emotional reaction.

Your next step

Write down the agreed launch position and review process. Decide who communicates with the agent while ensuring everyone with a decision-making role stays informed.
