Why would they buy a second hand property that is further away from facilities and isn't being presented to it's best in the advertisement, when they can have brand new for less money?
You need to appeal much more to your target market.
There is nothing to be done about any of those drawbacks, and the OP is reducing the asking price. The market will decide whether it’s a big enough reduction.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Good to see that the first pic of the outside has been re taken...either the agent has strategically placed his car in front of the boarded up door pane or more hopefully the door is now fixed.in S 38 T 2 F 50

Well I think the car is quite strategically placed, but the door is also fixed, ha.
Not particularly hopeful about anything at this stage. Some viewings would be nice though, I find it totally bizarre that people aren't even viewing and then making a cheeky offer. Everyone knows that people don't expect asking price in the English market. I have a budget of £190k max where I am, and I have gone to view ones at £210k, and made an offer on one at £200k, and got it for the price I wanted. It's standard.0 -

Well yes I quite agree,the bottom of the door looked pretty ropey too.
Your management company should really keep on top of general maintaninance. Its not just the insides of properties that sell them,its the well maintained communal areas too.
Whats the monthly service charge like for the complex?in S 38 T 2 F 50

Yeah I agree. I don't enjoy dealing with the management company but they're probably not the worst. I think they fixed that pretty quickly, it was just bad timing. Thanks for noticing it though, it passed me by. I actually think the estate agent should probably have mentioned it. It's £115. The communal areas themselves aren't too bad, hoovered every day etc.0

Good advice.0 -
Ok with this in mind we're going to make a bunch of small changes to remove clutter and get some more pics taken.0

You still haven't said how this leasehold is actually owned.0

I didn't realise anyone had asked that. The flat is in my name with a deed of trust that connects me to my parents. Is that relevant to the OP? I'm asking for help on how to sell it.Lover_of_Lycra wrote: »You still haven't said how this leasehold is actually owned.0 -

Yes it does make a difference in that you are the sole legal owner meaning you should be able to do as you please when it comes to selling the property. I'm surprised the mortgage lender allowed you to take out a mortgage whilst having a deed of trust in place. Did your mother have to sign anything when it came to the deposit such as a gift declaration?0
