    What a random question. Not like you would chose to buy one or the other so you could sell it easier.

    A filthy, neglected one. With clear signs of subsidence & a bad feeling about the neighbours, a sink estate nearby & a really dubious comprehensive in earshot.
    For subtle bonus features, let it be listed, with previous tenants having annoyed severely *all* utilities & incurred debts which the collectors are convinced can still be recovered at the address..

    It seems to me that large expensive properties take a long time to sell. I frequently look at the properties for sale in my town, and the most expensive ones (£1M+) seem to have been on the market for more than a year.

    That's a bit ignorant wouldn't you say ?

    Can you give examples of troll posts made by the op?

    The Op who is very open that he has mental health problems and also admits that he finds it difficult to get what he means across in a precise fashion

    Not sure which is hardest as the market for both is quite small but I do know the easiest to sell are 2 and 3 bedroom properties which are in demand.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Non-standard construction - not usually mortgageable.

    Houses built on land that has abandoned mines under it. I believe a special survey is needed at considerable cost.

    Property in a 'guaranteed' flood plain or with a history of flooding.
