    I don't think the kitchen photo shows it off very well. Maybe a different angle would look better?
    Maybe one without showing the front door leading straight into it?
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Can you move that dirty mat in the kitchen ? It would also make the kitchen look bigger.

    The garden could do with a mow and a bit of love also but apart from a de clutter beside tables etc the rest of your house looks lovely

    Good luck

    Ps you need to look at sold prices locally ..how does your compare to these

    Even from the front the house looks very small. The front door opens on to the kitchen and the ground-floor is all open plan. One small double and two single bedrooms aren't ideal. The garden is the size of a postage-stamp. Even your only viewer, a first-time buyer, decided the house was too small for him to live in on his own. It's in Derby.

    On the plus-side it's very well presented and I suspect the quck price-drop after only two weeks on the market may have led to people wondering what's wrong with it. But only comparing your price with other similar properties in the same neighbourhood will tell you whether it's sensibly-priced or not.

    What are the sold prices for similar-sized properties on the rest of the estate?

    Does the listing mention it being on a quiet cul-de-sac?

    Yeah it's the price, in my opinion.

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Number 3 is a two bedroom mid town houses and is slightly smaller than our house but I understand where you are coming from.

    The usual reason why a property is not eliciting any interest is as follows:

    It's not presented well.

    It's not being marketed properly.

    It's the price.

    Or a combination of all three. You choose. There are dozens of three bedroom houses on offer where you are for a whole heap less than what you're asking for. Maybe they're in much less desirable streets. I dunno but you will.
