It's a flat. Not an Apartment.

Whats the difference (apart from apparently £30k)

If it was 1p would it sell? Yes
If it was £1 would it sell? Yes
If it was £10,00 would it sell? Yes
etc.

So if it won't sell you are asking more than the market will stand - I'm afraid

I would say it overpriced too more like around 95-100k

The slope ceiling is a put off for me along with small rooms especially bedrooms

A small flat in a rough area....£65k max.

One is what it says it is, a flat.

The other is an American word for the same thing, used to imply that it's somehow pseudo-superior (and definitely over-priced) compared to a flat.

Borrowing words from other cultures is no bad thing imo.

English word apartment: a separate room. (F.,—Ital.,—L.) was originally appartemente, from the French language, derived from the Italian appartamento, from the verb appartare -- to separate Appartare was formed from a meaning "to" + parte meaning "part"

The bedroom is actually a decent size, just the bed is king sized with slats on the side which make it even bigger. I actually opted out of having an en suite in the bedroom too, so imagine the size of the other aprtments which actually do have en suites! So if everyone seems to think that the asking price should be 95 to 100K then most people on the development must be in negative equity as I cant see many people having £35 000 to put down as a deposit when they bought them. The sloping roofs dont really impact on the living space which people would be able to see if they came for a viewing.

I agree, I think the rooms are not as small as you would expect for a flat/apartment (granted the living room is narrow but comparative to the other one for sale at £95k this should be priced a bit higher. Obviously the market has decided that it is still too high though.

How do you know what deposit others had at the time? Also, it's of no relevance to you if others are in NE. You're trying to sell like they are and it seems you need to drop the price, no matter what position the others will be in.

You never know, the others might have been smart enough to purchase at 50% off what you did :-p

Stealeruk, do you really think Miller homes would have sold some of the plots at 50% of the asking price?
