Little interest

Why
is
everything
white


Pictures are crap;
turn the lights on
most rooms need two photos from opposite angles
No picture of second toilet (?)

The ceilings do make it a bit atticy.

It is the attic.

I wouldn't describe a flat as "duplex" merely because you own the final flight of stairs!

...but there's four steps between the living room and kitchen...

I'm afraid to say I have rarely seen a less appealing property.

Not a single flat ceiling, every room oppressive, just horrible.

Good luck with selling it but if they get anything over £200k they will have done well.

That's what non-estate agents would call a "pointless trip hazard"...

It is priced reasonably competitively for the area. The location is sought after and favourably located near Bournemouth beach.

Like many sellers, your girlfriend is overlooking the negatives and overvaluing the positives. We made the same mistake when selling our house.

The flat is very unappealing and odd-looking because it's in the attic. You are probably all used to that so you don't see how odd it looks any more. However, when there are of alternatives available that are normal-looking, people won't bother with this one (as the lack of viewings shows) unless it's really good value for money. The position is not something that you can use to justify over-pricing a "quirky" property, it's something that will help you sell it once you have the price right.

There's been plenty of evidence presented that this is overpriced. If you want to sell reasonably quickly, you will need to drop the price.

I assume there is not lift so that will make it more difficult to sell to start with.


If you are not getting any viewings it is very very overpriced.


If you are getting viewing but no offers it is overpriced.


What you have to find is the price where you get viewings and offers.


The flat is not worth the imaginary price that the estate agent gave you as a valuation and it isn't worth what you think it is worth. It is worth what someone will pay you for it. At the monent no one is willing to even view it at the price you are asking so the flat buyers think it is so overpriced that they are not going to view it.



You need to drop the price a lot. It is probably going to sell for around £50k less than you are asking.

That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation.

It's on the second floor, not the fourteenth. If somebody's mobility is such that they need a lift for a second-floor flat, they should probably be looking explicitly for a property with one - or a ground-floor flat.

Lifts are expensive things to maintain. Split between the five flats in this property, that's going to be a heavy increase in the service charge - even more so if the two ground-floor flats are excluded from contributing on the basis that it would add nothing to their properties.

Eh? I would regard it as decidedly odd for a block of flats to have a lift if it goes no higher than the second floor.

No kerb appeal. EA selling purpose built flats around same price. Street view link does not work. Quirky layout with less useable space than square footage implies. No outside space
Better descrpition needed.

What appears to be the downstairs flat of the adjoined property is under offer for £40k less:

A bit less sqft but irrelevant since most of the sqft upstairs is useless with the sloped ceiling.

So i'm afraid as usual in such cases it is the price...
