Fussy ftb

I'm the market you are aiming at a FTB I have no illusions about what I can and can't afford, your flat simply doesn't work as a home.

I would want to gut the place create a open plan livingroom/kitchen/dinner then make the one bed bigger, rearrange the bathroom and make it flow more that would cost a lot and therefore I wouldn't want to pay the price you have put on it considering the flat above sold for £15k less in addition it's listed so that would cost even more to do it up to flat that works.

Yeah areas slightly different. Posh area compared to druggies and drunks outside your window if Your lucky peeing up it if you are not. Also next door to two sex shops so quite different lol.

Surprisingly no one has ever said the bedroom is small in all the feedback we have had

Think about how that would work in the event of a fire in the kitchen/living room. Parents are in the actual double bedroom (the ex-kitchen), their kid is in the smaller bedroom. In order to escape, the kid needs to either go through the room that's on fire or go out the window and drop two stories down onto concrete.

This arrangement would not comply with building regulations for the reasons you have mentioned

A quick look at rightmove using the search of plymouth and flats to the £90000 price tag....and it brings up 150 results.

That would suggest to me that FTB's can indeed be choosy with so much on offer.

THe flat above has not sold for 15k less as it went for offers over in fact it went for far nearer 90 than 80.

We do have enough windows for extra bedroom as kitchen already has a window.

And to reiterate for the third time the estate agent has confirmed that people looking in our bracket and up to 20k more than we are looking at are not buying anything. They seem to want a brand new period 3 bed house for the money you can get a bedsit for.

You're also on with 2 agents and both mention the £1,000 buyers' incentive - often the sign of a desperate seller - sometime buyers avoid properties which have languished on the market for a while simply because they think there's something wrong with them....

The other agent's photos (ie the one you didn't link to) are even worse...

Ok your EA is right and we are all wrong, those pesky first time buyers are the only reason for it not selling and it's nothing at all to do with it not being very suitable and being overpriced. We were all just winding you up.

Except for the flat above yours.

They're shared ownership, but that's not an impossible ask....

But you can't put the kitchen in the living room because of the escape route for the bedroom so I don't believe you have enough windows or space.

You are speaking to one estate agent in one area. He'll prob say anything after two years and no sale.
