We've just got ours back on the market. We had it on for about 6 months last year, with no interest. We took it off, thinking we could manage for a bit longer, pay a bit more off the mortgage and have more equity for the next place. We can't! 5 of us in a 2 bed front terrace. Yuk! It's now on for £78,000 was previously 2 grand more, plus we've had double glazing fitted since. We can't accept less than 75 really. We've viewed a few, and come to realise that we'd be better off making a cheeky offer on something that needs completely re-doing, in order to get the space we need. We would then have a smaller mortgage than if we bought one already done out, and we could afford to do it up as we go along.

Considering that you need a quick sale and it's already been on the market for 6 months with no interest, how is shaving 2 grand (2.5%) off the asking price going to make any difference? Surely that small amount would have been within negotiating range the first time around.

I think you'll need to drop it much more significantly to generate any interest.

Our place has been on the market about 1 month now without a sniff, no viewings at all. Its in South Gloucestershire in supposedly a popular area with good schools. But its just outside the popular price bracket at £450k, average is probably £250k to £300k in the area as quite a few market towns with large housing estates. Could be long wait - one house in our village took 2 years (I just discovered. Not the best news I've ever heard).

It'll make more difference that keeping it at the higher price! Plus we've had the windows done so that's an extra. One down the road sold in October last year for £82,500 so ours ought to generate some interest at £78,000.

ETA: You're right anyway, if it doesn't, we will have to drop it some more. We can't struggle along in this shoebox for much longer!!
