I've just read your previous two threads. Have you tried a traditional EA yet? Or have you only used the online one?

Unfortunately your flat has 2 problems, which unlike the dirty fridge, tired sofa, hideous wallpaper and excessive price can not be fixed - it's a poor design and tiny

HiToAll

price, price and price.

Chin up, it's easily fixable.

• get rid of the dark wallpaper. Replace with a tasteful painted feature wall (you need some colour in there if you're taking down the wallpaper).
• replace the sofa (as you've mentioned)
• get rid of the superhero posters
• get some colour in the kitchen e.g. coloured microwave, toaster etc. It looks bland
• get a small dining table with two chairs
• get to Ikea and get rid of the black coffee table
• get some coloured curtains. Black blinds look like an office
• consider changing your black computer desk as well
• put a couple of nice pictures on the walls

and then when you've done all that, get some WIDE ANGLE photos. If you have a decent camera on your phone even this would do: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aukey-Wide-angle-fr-pl-wd03-S7-iPhone-Samsung/dp/B01MFEWJI2/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1484664748&sr=8-16&keywords=aukey+wide+angle+lens+iphone

And Photoshop them afterwards so they look LIGHT and not gloomy.

Sunny outside shots would help too.

Just accepting that it is over-priced would be less stress.

to be fair, it's only tiny as a 2 bed


there are plenty of 1 beds that size

have a look at what has sold while you have been trying to sell.

Flat 10
Flat 3
Flat 2
Flat 34
Flat 9

the last being the most recent and only £7k more.

do a comparison on that against yours and ask yourself which you would have bought.

What appears to be a larger and better arranged flat in the same block sold for £95K recently.

That one's always gonna be a hard sell. 441 SQ ft for a 2 bed is silly. As is a lounge/diner/kitchen in just 13'7 by 12'7. Really it needs remodelling to put the kitchen where bedroom 2 and the hallway is.

I'd drop the price to £80K.

But you actually have to get off the sofa to switch the kettle on with all of those.
