They may go out of business when you move if you're there a lot - it's a bit too handy lolvratnayaka wrote: »Haha, maybe. Perhaps its the EA job to clear that off the mind of the buyers.

Actually you are wrong I own several flats, in fact I offered and had my offer accepted on one on Thursday last week.
I offered my opinion, it’s up to you to decide whether to ask your EA to link to a brochure with the details or put the, on RM but if it puts me off not being there it will put others off.
I am not interested in even looking at something with what I regard as problem lease or ground rent issue.
As I say it’s up to you, you asked!0 -

Seems to me people are making constructive points and you are claiming they are not an issue when actually they might be.0 -

Another good point that you have batted away!0 -
Is it really only 51 sqm?
That is very small for a one bed flat.0 -
Last Property sold for £290K have prices risen 10% in six months?
Owner of the last property passed away and the family was keen on a quick sale, we hooked them up with a friend who was looking at the time who bought the flat for £290K which was, in my opinion, a great price compared to downstairs flat that sold for £300,000 in 2016.
And no, I do appreciate your input and take your comments on board. 0 -
It's a bit out of proportion. The living room is huge but the kitchen and second bedroom are tiny.
My office is 8' x 8' and I'd say it would be a squeeze to get a single bed and chest of drawers in there. It's a one and a half bedroom flat really.
Also, where's your fridge and washing machine? If they're integrated, it means the kitchen must be very teeny tiny."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
When you say it's been practical for you, what do you actually mean? Is someone staying in it full time? I only ask because my single bedroom is bigger than that and it's quite cramped when being used full time by an adult/teenager who needs storage for clothes and personal items.
We used it as a guest room as it was just me and my wife living in the flat. We do however now have a newborn, so it'll soon be converted to a nursery which the room probably is better suited as.. 0 -
It's perfectly presentable. The layout is a little unorthodox, but I presume it's a conversion. I would always expect a few viewings very early on as you're simply new to market and people who have been looking a while will be waiting to pounce. I've always usually had at least two on the the first major marketing weekend which, to be fair, could be argued to be this weekend coming.
Also, that really is not a double bedroom. There's little point in trying to dupe people, or yourself, just because you can physically fit a double bed in it. Present it as it is, without the clever use of the Ikea wardrobe mirror (half depth wardrobe, I presume) otherwise you will end up with viewings that you don't need from people genuinely expecting a double. And your feedback will be "the second bedroom is too small". It is a single, it is barely bigger than a box room.
There doesn't seem to be much available in the price bracket with even a mile of the whole postcode. What is the market there? Houses, not flats?Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
