    Cant offer much advice but just to say your home looks nice, it has a family feel to it that should appeal to many.
    Does it have good local schools, lots of parents look for that.
    Maybe the problem is price or that its not being marketed enough by the estate agents.
    Anyway good luck.
    I really wish houses where I live sold for around this price this would be about 260k + here. My children have no chance.

    Disagree about offer over. If the price is low enough it is a very good way of getting people through the door. Say you are at 450k and will accept 420-430 but not getting viewings. Drop it to offers over 400 and you could well suddenly get a flood of people with a 400 budget who think they will get a bargain. Once they view hopefully you get 2 or 3 interested at the same time and once interested they will go above 400 back to the 420-430 level. I did exactly this recently. It can work very well but offer over needs to be quite low.

    This is exactly the point. For offers over to work the price needs to be well below the actual value in order to obtain the interest otherwise most people will look and say 'they ain't going to get that price.'
