    What did you buy it for and when, have you done any significant work to the property and what have similar properties gone for in the area.

    Rule of thumb - if you're not getting them through the door the price is too high.

    Photos aren't great to be honest - makes the conservatory look cramped and the back garden looks untidy.

    Price looks good though, compared to the competition.

    thanks for adding the link poppy10, yeah i do agree about the photos, they dont do the house justice to be honest!! its so much better hearing it from an outside opinion

    It was valued at 116,000 middle of last year, so obviously prices have dropped since then but i'm hoping its a realistic price i think the lowest i'd possibly go is 95000 but that would be pushing it!!
