    It's been for sale for 5 months without having been under offer or having had its price cut [with this agent and also, earlier, with another agent at the same price] so yes, it very likely is overpriced.

    I make it worth at most the 2004 sale price of £180k plus 10% for general property inflation [getting you to £198k] plus maybe £5k each for those three lovely pillars at the front, i.e. £213k in all. Not a penny more.
    FACT.

    Chances are that the sellers are not serious or deluded as the house has been on the market for so long with no price reduction

    Looks like a nice house but I wouldn't pay £250k for something in Huyton.
