No viewings on house 4 weeks...

I'm not understanding this"wrong time of year" ethos.

I have just sold personal property number 17 and numerous commercial, investment and anything in-between , houses sell if they are presented and priced right.

Admittedly December and very early January are a little slow but not stagnant.

If you aren't planning on staying long term ie 10 years then anything you have spent on major renovations of a reasonable standard you can't add that onto the original price plus natural inflation

This is my last property before assisted living `( if `I get that far !!) and for once on a total modernisation, I can finally have what I want and beggar the cost as this time it's for me

I will end up with a 3 bed detached on a huge plot but with a massive kitchen as this is what I love, no en suite as there are only 2 of us.. lovely bathroom but only one upstairs .. down stairs loo and for once no magnolia... I can go off the scale with my decor as this time it's for me.

Houses sell but at what price then only vendors know what they need to move on and if they need more than there house is worth then they could wait a while

Personally I think there are not enough photos and the property looks too dark. The kitchen looks a bit dated in the photo and the ceiling isn't doing it any justice either. The laminate flooring isn't the best quality by the looks of it too. Get some light in the rooms before taking better and more photographs and reduce the price

Rubbish kitchen fitter, put WM and tumble dryer right where boiler pipework stops them going in all the way so they stick out.

What are you afraid of across the other side of the road, i.e why photograph the bedroom with the blinds shut?

If there is a garage and garden people will want to see it. On a street like that, off road parking is useful.

Well, the OP has dropped the price but done nothing else
Hasn't made a single change to their rubbish advert.
No new pictures, no changed pictures, no floor plan, no change to garbled wording.

And still probably no viewings

IIRC they went from £100k to £95k last time now £94k

a week ago in post #50 I said

I think you need to consider seriously spending the time and effort to do some staging and promoting your house as the best there is on the market to try to generate some interest

With the work that has been done you should be able to get a price above the rest that have yet to be upgraded.

Or

accept you just want it sold and price to sell, which looking at the current SSTC will be under £90k as that is where people are buying.

as the OP seems to be taking the second approach it needs to be £90k and take offers.


also last week we had
1mile 3beds 4+
0-80 14/03 1/0
0-90 20/07 1/2
-100 30/08 4/2
-110 38/16 4/2
now

0-80 14/02 0/1
0-90 18/08 0/3
-100 28/10 3/3
-110 36/19 3/3

People are buying.

£80k this 4 bed got added and SSTC

£90k looks like this one may have been added by the same sloppy agent

If a 4 bed is £98 then i would say a 3bed is more like £88, the back yard is important, and for me sadly parking would strike it off the list altogether unless i could walk to work. Clearly no visitor parking, i see fighting over spaces, and max 1 car per home.

And who visits a house before doing a google street look, its on the page, and clearly shows the parking problem. And many areas have yet to recover from 2008.

AnotherJoe

All of these can be fixed by price, eventually, but they need to get someone in the door before they get an offer, and only dropping the price is a very expensive way to do that when one day to rectify the decorating, staging and photo issues may tempt a viewer who would otherwise be uninterested in looking until the price became stupidly low.

Hello we have now reduced to £94 000 still working on moving furtnite etc into other bedroom and painting our freshly plastered hall and landing white.

What's the point in dropping such a small amount? Especially before changing the pics? Surely you should do the pics first, then drop if no interest? :think:
