Yep, you guys couldn't be more right! I passed her my e-mail address over the weekend in case she ever changed her mind (I really liked the house!) and she informed me it had been 'valued' by an estate agent at £350,000, and that she knew she wouldn't get that much but was willing to settle for £340,000 - £345,00. The justification was a ''similar'' property to hers had gone for £335k down the road, but it is very arguable that the other house was worth an easy £20k over hers.
I was beyond belief, and asked her (I had to...) how she felt the house was worth that much when she bought it for £300k 5 years ago especially as it had been on & off the market for 3 years with offers around £310k and that over the 8 properties on her street 4 had lost money, and 4 had gained 1-2%.
