    Do you have an agent? If so, they should be giving you feedback.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.
  • - Is it freehold or leasehold?
    - What are the service charges like?
    - Is there a sinking fund to cover large bills?

    Most important of all - is it an ex Council flat? (ie with potential huge bills whenever the Council decides to do some work on the block as a whole).

    Hi Nicy, no offer could be a mixture of things.
    Size of rooms, garden, Parking.
    Decluttering.
    Price.

    We had 35 viewings in 20 days before an offer. Then had x2 at once.
    We had to drop the price.

    Just keep cleaning and decluttering.

    Best of luck.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    Feedback has all been positive. Its the only affordable flat in the area but quite small for the money. Its well presented, not ex council, share of freehold, average service charge.

    Just though we would have one offer...
    You've probably answered your own question here with the words "quite small for the money"

    Have you made your agent aware that you are open to offers and perhaps the type of offer you would be interested in?

    When we recently purchased...we were aware that the property we looked at was perhaps not as realistically priced as we would like and and asked if the vendor would be open to offers....the EA was able to confirm quickly that they were after a quick sale and we offered whaat we thought the property to be worth.

    It's almost always down to price. Regardless of what the drawbacks are with a particular property, if the price is low enough someone will buy.
