Bungalow not getting any viewings feedback appreciated

I think my biggest gripe would be that the guest bedroom seems to have had an ensuite shoe horned in.

There's an awful lot of dull grey concrete in that first picture - very uninspiring. It requires some willpower to see past that, especially given the other shortcomings in the ad, such as:

• The location of the doors to the lounge, guest bedroom and utility room make the layout difficult to understand - can the viewer be bothered to do that?
  
• While the astroturf might appeal to some, the motivational slogans on the bathroom and bedroom walls are a major turn off for me. Plus the bottom line of the one in the bathroom doesn't look level, sloping off at a wonky angle...
  
• No dining room or space for dining table, as previously discussed.
  
• The garden seems somewhat small, shaded and overlooked, rather than the 'large plot, lots of space' one associates with bungalows.
  
• Online agents and an "offers in excess of" price are also little turn-offs to some buyers.

If the price was more competitive, people might look past these little niggles, or at least view the place and see what they might like to do with it. But with the price where it is, even a cursory viewing probably isn't worth the time, given the cumulative errors and irritations in the ad. I see you've made a slight cut in the price, but suggest a drop to £299,950 to stimulate any sort of meaningful interest.

The other thing that would put me right off is the fact the garden is quite small, and is HEAVILY overlooked by neighbours. There's nothing that can be done about that though.

I am in the bungalow market, so to speak. The biggest issue for me is the amount of concrete in the front and that it is heavily overlooked. That in its own is a deal breaker. Price can always be adjusted.

I wouldn't call it a three bed, to me it's a two bed using the dining room as a third bedroom. A three bedroom house with no dining area makes no sense to me and there's no space in the kitchen for a table, so I wouldn't expect to pay a three-bed property price.
Also, the astro-turf would be a major turn off for me.

Our 1970s estate has two designs of bungalow .The two bedroomed has two bedrooms ,living room, kitchen and bathroom. The three bedroomed has three bedrooms, a larger living room, larger kitchen (enough room for table and chairs) and larger bathroom. No plans ever showed a dining room.


My sister and husband who sold their two bedroomed bungalow(elsewhere), originally had the same as above, but knocked through a wall, making a bedroom into a dining room, as they only need one bedroom. The three bedroomed that they are moving to has the same as mentioned above ,too, so it's quite common for bungalows to have no specific dining area.

I think that the bungalow is overpriced for that road. There will be a top price for that road.

I can see how you may feel that way, as you can get some strong opinions here, but sometimes a few honest truths are what is needed.

If a property isn't selling, or attracting serious interest, it's always the price. We can argue about whether it's called a 2 bed or a 3 bed, and you can get some better photos done, but ultimately if you make the price competitive enough it will sell.
