    Too far from the station and shops too close to the railway line and that main road and leasehold.


    I suspect that it is just starting to drop in value from the new build premium as newer houses are being built. Probably worth nearer £220k due to the area it is in.

    Hate the garden. Definite deal breaker for me.

    This house, which seems very similar, has been on since Oct 2018 for £240K. And hasn't sold.

    There's lots of very similar stuff within a short distance, suggesting supply outstrips demand. If you need to sell, lower your price. And don't do offers over. You're up north, in a stagnant market.

    If you cant get anyone to bite at £255k, how do you reckon their sale's gonna go at £270k :rotfl:

    Hypnotised by the two photos of the running tap, then brainwashed by the four close ups of an elegant place setting, and the mesmerising stainless steel oven (OMG NEFF). :spam:

    Mmmmmmm. Doughnuts.

    #10 is my favorite. Great for those days you want to invite the family round to stare at the wardrobe for hours.

    I think the photos don't flow - photos 5 & 8 should be after photo 3 or not there at all.



    Hot tub photo - not sure why this is put as 2nd photo; it needs to be nearer the end as it may not be an interest for a buyer in terms of maintenance costs etc.


    Photo 4 makes the room look small, is this the unit that you were planning on getting rid of, maybe get it redone.


    Can you get rid of the table in pic 7, just thinking a 4 bed house and the table and chairs looks cramped for getting at least 4 round. Also it would make it look like there's more room in there.


    Also from some of the photos it's not clear what room they are (16 & 17).

    Thanks Exodi


    Not possible at the moment to purchase the freehold and the lease has 989 years to run - might ask the EA to include that in the description

    How much is the grount rent?

    How often is the ground rent reviewable?

    Thanks for all the advice.

    We are in the process of relocating so do have the opportunity to rent the property out rather than sell - which I think we will be doing.

    The hot tub is being sold separately so need to add in that but add in comments re electrics being in place.

    I will liaise with EA ( who aren’t very proactive) and change some photo’s / descriptions but unfortunately somethings I can’t change I.e. proximity to shops / trains / change the garden.

    Thanks All
