Yeah, ignore Crashy Time. Saying that you can sell any property by lowering the price far enough is like saying you can lose weight by ceasing to eat.

Technically true but in practice, absolutely worthless advice.

If you don`t want to sell.

It's a combination of:

Price
Kerb appeal
presentation

But almost always the price first.

You can't sell a £5 note for £5.50, it can't be done. If it's too dear it won't sell.

Unless you are a banker.

True.

Kerb appeal and presentation can be amended, to a certain extent - whether improvements are tangible, and whether they demonstrably help increase sale price, is another question entirely.

You can't sell a £5 note for £5.50, it can't be done. If it's too dear it won't sell.

While it's a truism to a certain extent, the analogy falls down on one major factor - a £5 note is a generic with a known value. A house isn't. Even if it's one of a dozen ostensibly identical new-builds on a large development, there are always differences in positioning and plot - and there's always competition outside of that development.

You said ......"Those that are telling you its down to the price alone, ignore them too".


The problem with that is that the media are now telling people it is down to price, and most people don`t ignore the media, or this ridiculous and damaging house price bubble would never have got off the ground.

Crashy,is your advice based on your own personal experience? It's just that it all seems a bit "Google-y".
