1. Price it for your ego.
2. Price it to sell.
The danger is in a falling, soon to be collapsing , market IMPO that you chase the market down.This is not financial nor legal nor property advice. Consult a paid professional if in doubt.0 -
Best tip to sell is price it right. If you drop the price by a certain amount you may dip into a ftb range.
Buy to let is in a worse condition for mortgages than ftb so you may be targeting wrong group.:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

As a FTB, I can tell you that this is the most annoying "EA phrase".racewingman wrote: »The house is ideal for somebody wanting to get on the property ladder.
"Ideal house" should not be twice as expensive in mortgage payments as renting.
How much more would your house cost with a 10% deposit?0 -
It'd help to see the advert, in my opinion as a FTB something that is an investment opportunity to rent out is not normally something that'd appeal to FTBs'
Can we at least see the blurb?

Open Dayn for potential buyers
Multi-agency (warning, can look desperate)
Make sure your property is in the paper pullout in your local paper - pay for a better placement if it is only a small advert.
Give a friend with a bit of style and flair £100 to 'dress' your property and produce better pictures. From my understanding a lot of EA's aren't very good at taking good pictures.
Make sure your pictures are relevant ones - I'd go for one decent shot of every room, particularly second/third bedrooms and bathrooms (these seem to be missing a lot). Taking shots of two or three 'portions' of a bedroom can be confusing.
Re-write the property particulars to your (truthful) satisfaction. Presumably, you loved this property once, so point out all the things that made you do so to upcoming buyers.Emergency savings: 4600

Why not offer something different so you advert will stand out like legal fees paid for the buyer of your house?0
