    The market is people who already own a home selling them to each other. First time buyers can't afford houses. Simples.

    Pop onto the sellers thread, there are lots of us there myself included with 9 weeks gone and one viewing, unfortunately it's reality at the moment, things aren't selling that quickly and the EA's have probably sold you that classic line of there are buyers waiting for your house to get your business...

    Add to that you only get 80% then that is something that will put buyers off...

    It's just a case of hang in there, it's tough but it's the way the world is right now...


    i was just going to tell them to get on that thread haha

    i would say until the house market picks up for everyone else, then your kinda house stands little chance. people are just frightened by this kind of property no matter how lovely it is. Do you NEED to sell. if so you may have to accept a real low offer or just wait a few years for the market to get back on its feet. Saying that its not been on long, mine been on since December and only 3 viewings so far
    :p
    Thank you to all posters

    Its in a first time buyers scheme where they buyer will only buy 80%,

    As FTB I ignore these schemes, sorry but there are too many downsides.
