Not sure if there is a another way to share with you?!

You can just post the last part of the rightmove link (e.g. property-for-sale/property-80105228.html). Someone will post the rest :-)

No idea!!!

Not even sure if Brexit is a factor.

I know this area well. I live... close! It's a nice flat, very good location. But, it's absolutely tiny and I think that's a sticking point.

A year ago I think this flat would have gone to close to £350,000. Right now, the market is so slow for flats like this, I think either you may have to be prepared to wait it out, or drop the price. It'd go for £320,000 without much trouble.

Nothing much wrong with the way it's presented in the listing.
Although, having said that, sort that cupboard door in the kitchen...

It's only been on the market two months, and already dropped in price? Buyers may smell desperation.

What else are you up against? This is almost identical, £10k less, and has been on since December.

Then there's this - needs a redecorate, sure, even when you look past the clutter. But it's a two bed duplex nearly twice the floor area, for £25k less. Pass me the paint brush...

Or how about this - again, look past the presentation, and you gain a garden - and retain £65k in your pocket...

You want modern-shiny? Then go a bit further afield to...

Bigger, proper balcony, same price.

Thanks for the advice (neighbour!)

Really helpful. Think it's time for £320k!

I think the flat itself looks a bit messy - just small touches such as that thing down the side of the washing machine, the cupboards being open and the bed being slightly untidy.

I know it doesn't sound much, but if a property is badly represented on the photos, I won't even entertain a viewing. It gives me a bad vibe and I just cannot get passed it. If I was paying that much money for a one bedroom flat, I'd be even pickier.

It does look like a nice, bright flat though. The living room is a bit of an odd shape but I wouldn't let that put me off.

Lol- the drawer in the kitchen doesn't actually close. :0

Thanks for the perspective. Definately considering dropping the price!
