    Anything can sell if you keep lowering the price. Demand increases with lower pricing - think of how many people would be interested in a dump in the worst part of town if it was on offer for a tenner.

    Thanks for the advice guys.

    So to conclude in its current state £90-£95,000 is a more realistic,accurate price?

    I might be bias considering Im both a Yorkshireman and up North, but I still wouldn't pay that amount. Not when I could get a much nicer, modern and better kept house just a couple of doors down.

    exactly.

    You will sell at a certain price, but how long will it take? as soon as you are competing with another property which is better presented at a similar (or higher price) then potential buyers will make a choice

    I know the area well, Its not the most desirably sorry to say, but as others have said, your house simply does not stand out.

    I would take a look at the linked posted by Mobeer and take some inspiration.
