• Initial entry found.

It looks like it has been put with another estate agent or relisted in January. You are better dropping the price now to get interest before the London bubble really bursts in about October/November. Remember you have the summer holidys fast coming up so price to sell now before they hit and we enter slow season.

Good luck

Ask yourself: "Would it sell for £100,000?" If the answer is "yes" then move the price in that direction.

I think the flat is quite nice but as others have said abit on the small size esp the front room, agree you need to get abit more mininmal those pictures are nice but make the place appear smaller, saying that a big mirror does gives the illusion of space and light. Tidy the garden and if poss invest in a bigger shed as storage esp without a garage would be useful.
2nd bedroom agree needs to be a bedroom and if possible brighter,in your bedroom try and hide that horrible wall you look onto slatted blinds or sheer curtains but dont go for anything too fussy or bulky as will make the room appear smaller.
Price is a factor but say you are open to reasonable offers when people come to view and get a new agent.
Good luck.

Ask yourself would it sell for 99p? List it for £1.98 and hey you sold it for double. Pointless analogy.

Whilst it is a fairly pointless analogy, there is a point to it all.

Selling a property is a balancing act between selling fairly quickly and getting the best price. The OP has been concentrating on getting the best price until now, but she is recognising that there is a cost in terms of commuting time. If she now wants to concentrate on selling fairly quickly, reducing the price makes good sense.
