house for sale and no viewings, any advice?

You can make offers but do not expect them to be accepted or exclusive.

I think there is no harm in showing your intent on a place as long as you are within sensible range of asking.
They can at least consider it against any other offers and ask for an update when they get one.

If looking to aim low on your target place you need to be a more attractive buyer.

Good luck with the weekend viewings.

Certainly express your keen interest in the property you want. Showing serious intent is a good thing and can keep you a place in the 'queue' to some extent. Our last house wasn't for sale when we offered on this and our ultimate buyers' wasn't either when they offered on ours. The offers were provisional of course but if you don't get a clue whether the vendor is interested you might be wasting time trying to sell anyway.

I had a quick look on street view and the houses without that horrible porch have more kerb appeal. There is also the razor wire on the top of the wall of the building in the road opposite your garage that might put people off. I don't think the garage adds anything because there is a big sign about parking on it which suggests to me that people park in front of it so if I lived in your house I would never be able to get my car into the garage. How often do you put your car in the garage?

The Brick wallpaper does the GF toilet no favours as it really closes the space in. I would keep all walls light coloured. Floor to ceiling tile mirrors would give an illusion of space also.

I agree about the wallpaper, but floor to ceiling mirror tiles in a toilet? Who wants to admire themselves sitting on the pot that much!

Number 20 is for sale now too, £170K. A mid-terrace so probably wouldn't be worth as much, says there is off road parking (no garage?) at the back

Wildly over-priced. Would probably sell at 70k.

I know that area well as I live in it and I think it's a tad pricey tbh

£200k is too much for a terraced in Whitefield. I'll be buying next year in the area and will be looking to spend £170k on a three bed semi.

And how about a three bed detached for under £150k?

As the banking woes continue I can see these houses being cheaper still.
