Is the market really *that* slow at this time of year?

Potty prices. Still, if that's what the agent thinks they can get for it...
And despite reports of a "soaring" or "booming" market, that's only in certain areas - London and N Ireland, so elsewhere it can be v patchy, especially at this time of year.
I'm surprised you haven't had some interest as it's presumably a low end property.
Maybe take it off and try again in Feb. It's an odd time to want to move - just before Xmas too.
Have you ever got anything positive to say?

115K is far too much.
It should be more like £45K.

Sold our house last week, it had been on the market for three weeks. Yes it was priced to sell but it shows even at this time of the year if priced right the market is not as slow as some believe.0

In *my* opinion these prices are potty. That might not be your opinion, but it's mine.
115K is 230,000, I repeat 230 THOUSAND POUNDS over the term of the mortgage.
Calling someone a "loser" is against forum rules. Keep it up pal and you won't be on here for long.0
