    no they are not, this is true. The area is very rural and not an area that may appeal to many due to transport links.


    OK, so go for between 150k and 170k, the guy lives in America, trying to get shot of this money pit must be a royal pain in the !!!? And the Brexit/Turkey stuff will be spooking investors/sellers as well, he probably knows he is not going to get anywhere near his asking price by now, but no doubt would love the general level of "advice" on her that assumes (hopes?) that all houses are like gold-dust with endless cash rich buyers waiting to jump in. The world just changed, people have wised up to the fact that house prices go down as well as up.

    Are there any comparable properties that have sold recently, it's difficult to give an opinion without knowing the property or area.

    Could he? Can`t be that sweet a deal for him if he is trying to sell though. Wonder how much the tenants pay him for living in the middle of nowhere?

    In that case the owner has a right little earner on his hands..... that he seems to be struggling to sell?

    He did say it was rented. For what's it worth I think it probably is overprice as its been on market for a long time but without knowing more I couldn't guess by how much.
