.... there may be a specific reason WHY it's been on the market since march, and not sold?

4 months on the market is not a long time at all in my area, I am in Glasgow. Have you asked the estate agent why its not selling?

Have you got propertybee installed, and have you checked other recent sold prices?

If it is the property I think it is based on your description - price and reduction amount/date, it was also up for sale in December 2013 for o/o £137k and looks like it did not sell (Zoopla shows the history and the furniture etc looks the same)
With a history like that, you should be in a good bargaining position
Some areas will see properties selling quick and over the HR value, others not...your solicitor would be best to advise

Don't think so? Listing history on Zoopla just shows
First listed
£139,995 on 10th Mar 2015

i have been keeping an eye on this area and the surrounding ones since last October, and 4 months does seem quite a long time in comparison to vaguely similar properties.

i will be asking the EA why it hasn't sold, when we view the house. i expect if there is a specific reason, it will become apparent quite quickly.

I dont have property bee, no. would someone be able to do me a huge favour and look it up for me?

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-44180159.html Whats the story with this one? It came up Jan 2014, O/O £155k then sold (possibly sale fell through) O/O £150k April 2014 and was reduced December 2014 to O/O £137k then......??? Removed from the market?......

Ah, it is the same one.....???

You have a lot of digging to do with that agent!

However do not let it put you off! Our home, we have just moved into 10 days ago. was up for sale for almost the same amount of time, had a sale fell through, and another offer accepted then fell through..... in the end we paid 0.7% above the o/o price.

Yes that's the one. Very interesting, thank you.

That's the listing from 2014, when it was took off the market.

It is now back on the market again (different agent and listing).

Got the home report through, no obvious problems, from reading that?

You offer what you want to offer: Nothing to stop you offering, say, £115k if you wish to. It is up to vendor to respond as they see fit.

"Offers over" do not preclude offering under (I've done it, successfully, after an unpleasant exchange initially from vendor... who refused 1st offer: I waited a week, made exactly same offer again, accepted.)
