    Size of house isn't everything though when establishing price.

    The location of those bigger houses may not be as desirable as where the OP's smaller home is located. (I will admit I know nothing about the Carlisle area though so this could be wide of the mark!)

    The test is if it sells, if it doesn`t sell it is over-priced.
  • Okay guys here's the new listing with the professionals. Any better? Also with regards to all those saying it not a semi at semi pricing etc. What exactly makes it any different. It has rear access round the neighbours garden that sold for 162. It has a bigger rear garden than the semi on the other side? Do some people just hate mid link that much? Personally I think of the energy savings being in the middle haha! Thoughts appreciated.

  • And also to chime in on the master bedroom size comments, the bed is a super king. Which I agree doesn't do it any favours in photos.

    1. It's not a semi, it's mid-terraced.
    2. Where's the floorplan?

    Photos look ok.
  • Floor plan is on its way.
    And yes it's mid terraced but with the same benefits as a semi. So what's the difference? That is my question :)
  • Floorpan with both imperial and metric is as important as the photos... for me it's even more important as I will always change the interior

    When its mid terrace or semi, it would always be a semi .

    It isn't a semi though. You have two sets of joined on neighbours, a semi only has one set!

    A mid terrace certainly won't appeal to everyone.

    semi-detached
    /sɛmɪdɪˈtatʃt/
    adjective
    (of a house) joined to another house on one side only by a common wall.

    Yours is in the middle of two other houses. So it's mid-terraced. Unless there's some really weird regional definition being used. I'm not sure what benefits you think it has compared with any other mid-terraced house - it has the usual drawbacks of having party walls on either side.
  • So it's the two neighbours thing. Its something I never thought about. I always assumed the price difference was from actual useful differences such as side access to put the bins out and parking spaces etc... I do understand what the difference in definition is. Just don't understand why one set of neighbours is any different from two given everything else is the same. Thanks.
