In the area that I currently live £250,000 is considered a bargain.

Yet yours and others aren't exactly flying off the shelves at that price are they?

I find it bizarre someone saying that £250k is too much to sell for. it depends on the house and the area. There can be a big difference in square footage between 3 bed semis. People do have the money to buy houses. We sold our house (in 2009) without putting it on the market at twice the price the op wants. The house around the corner from me just sold for around £3.75m in less than a month after going on the market. There are people with money to spend at all price ranges.

If your house hasn't sold it isn't at the right price. In hindsight it is easy to say you should have taken the £247k offer and you were clearly badly advised by your agent. Personally I'd ditch the agent and price at £250k and expect a fair bit lower. It is an expensive lesson but that's life!

I agree that 250K is not too much to price a semi and sell it.

I'm looking in the L16 area and even the most rundown semi with God knows what lurking under dodgy pebbledash is priced at well over 250K.

One house seems not to have been touched since it was built in the 1930s, but still the asking price is over 250K.

For anything much under 250K you're looking at the tiniest of semis needing a rip out.
