    We also have a flat to sell, valuing between 85-90k on the Home Report. I think we are going for FP of 85 (we need 83), and will drop to o/o 79995 if we get no interest.

    I think in this day and age the home report value is irrelevant and it's what a buyer will pay and what you need to fund your move that dictates a price. I'm out Glasgow way and only in the last month have closing dates been reappearing again, before that houses have sat on the market for a year or more.

    MissE001: the house has a HR of 159k, went on at o/o 155k and is down to o/o 145k. Smilar properties in the street have sold in the last year for 130-140k, hence me thinking 138k-140k is my ballpark,

    Glasgow does seem to be one of the poorer performing markets in Scotland over the last few years.
