    On top of the EA valuations, there was a RICS valuation also placing it at £130k. That was mainly done so I knew the rough region I'd be looking in to buy onwards.

    Errrrr...no. The fact that 4 firms have merely come up with the same arbitrary round number, designed to appeal to the vendor's pocket and give them the sale commission doesn't mean they've priced it at £130k - ask the same lot what it should be marketed at by a "motivated seller" to guarantee a "quick sale", and I suspect it won't be £130K....

    Furthermore, unless the market is absolutely comatose, the OP should have had some interest in the first week and a half, and they haven't. People can see past poor pictures, decor etc if the price is good, but the fact that there hasn't even been a sniff of interest (even from someone looking to 'make an offer') suggests the price is way off.

    Sorry OP - it just ain't worth £130k. Your final selling price may involve the digits 1, 3 and 0, just not in that order...


    103? Or 0 more than 31?

    No viewings is down to pricing. When someone clicks through to see the rest of the photos they don't think it is worth the money you are asking. Lots of pps have already said it, but the presentation is poor. It needs to be decluttered and look as though someone enjoys living there. It needs to look like a home.
