Difficulty selling a house in a remote area of Scotland

More info on where it is? What's the nearest city?
It's crazy to go for Offers Over the SD threshold, and doubly crazy to go Offers Over the HR valuation. The HR valuation will determine what buyers can borrow, so unless a buyer with cash in hand to put the extra over £125k plus the SD into the pot comes along, you're unlikely to sell ....
If you do choose to reduce below HR, add a headline to your listing "£nnnn below HR valuation"
For those saying "must be on Rightmove", consider this - in Aberdeen, RM has 19 properties listed. The local solicitor network has almost 700. If the OP is in this area, why would they need RM? Who's looking at it?0 -
