    It's on too high basically, where there are near enough identical flats to mine on the market for £5k cheaper! My EA is trying to convince me that because mine is ground floor we should stick it out and wait for the interest. I can't believe we started at £115k!

    It is difficult to know how to price it, even if you do your research and know what's reasonable. We priced ours under some more or less identical properties thinking it would bring people in. We actually went with the lowest of the four valuations we had done. It worked initially but unfortunately didn't bring any offers. Then the market dropped and it made us look overpriced as lots of other properties started discounting. I would say, if you're going to drop the price, do it once rather than in increments.

    I didn't resurrect the thread that's over a year old, thought it was better to just start a new one...

    Oh the problems of today's people.
    Why continue using something that is perfectly fine when starting a new one is a "better" idea. Not getting at you OP but it's okay to carry on threads.

    If nobody replies to this thread within a month, someone else might just make a new one, then everyone will miss stuff from this thread that may be useful, albeit (in the case of the year old thread) a little outdated.

    Maybe a kind board guide might merge the threads when they get a moment?
