    Your SMALLEST of SIX bedrooms is 15' X 12' and your house is worth less than £230K? Blimey, where do you live? And what kind of house?


    Margate, 6 bed ex B&B. Water closets were in most rooms.


    Others down here are 10 bedrooms+, with similar sized rooms.


    There's actually 7 bedrooms, but that one is an annexed wardrobe room measuring 8' x 9' so that could be the smallest in that regard.


    Downside is that there is a lot of work to do!

    Yes, you can see from the listing that there was an open house arranged for yesterday.
    And yes, we had an offer just before the estate agents closed yesterday evening as a result of the open house. :)

    Good job they did not spot it on here

    The EA is part of the Sequence homes group who are notorious for bad service. Try a different agent, a small local firm of chartered surveyors will without a doubt give you better service and help you sell your house.

    Sequence EAs have a reputation for overvaluing. They want to get your signature so flatter you with a high price, they know it won't sell for this, so at some point they will start pushing you to lower the price.

    My advice is to change your EA as soon as you can.
