How some property sellers lose thousands.

Opinion by Neil Jenman. 

When it comes to the value of our properties most of us tend to be over-optimistic. Our place is better than similar properties. It's got better features, it's better constructed and, of course, it's in a better location.

And then, when it comes time to sell, the price we want for our own properties is almost always more than it should be. Nothing wrong with this, you might think. We're all entitled to get the best price possible when we sell.
