    A two and a half year old quote from a random person on Mumsnet

    Just think how bad (good for value seeking money savers) it must be now, and some on here would like us to take the word of a dozen or so posters with mortgages that the market is "holding up"?

    Do you have any useful comment or advice for the OP? Reiterating your troll-like unsubstantiated predictions about an imminent doom do not really help the OP. By the way, how many market crashes have you predicted so far?

    How much do you think this flat should be marketed for?

    As I said here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5993220/cant-sell-flat&page=4#70
    I am not sure there is a price at which I would buy it - the shape is just too odd.

    If I worked between Canada Water and Canary Wharf, were single, no kids, no view to start a family any time soon etc, I might maybe consider it for prices around the £250k mark.

    My advice earlier in the thread was to take the EA`s advice and drop the price again.

    That's been your unchanging advice since about 1985.

    Unlikely, but we know what happened to house prices after 1985 don`t we?
