The January sales may be drawing to a close at the high street's fashion and electrical outlets, but it is still possible to bag a bargain in the world of property.

We have found half a dozen homes currently for sale with asking prices that have been cut by a drastic percentage since they were put on the market.

In some cases, the reductions are as much as 50 per cent, which in translates into savings of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The January property sale: There are plenty of bargains, with some family homes having been reduced by up to 50 per cent

Buying agent Henry Pryor said that many buyers are currently making offers of 10 to 15 per cent below the asking price, hoping that if it is accepted they will not find they have still overpaid.

'You make money when you buy, not when you sell so try not to bid for something you have emotionally fallen for,' he added.

'Remember that as the buyer you decide what a property is worth. It's up to the seller to decide if it's enough.'
