Your Move, there is your problem get a decent agent

Won`t make any difference in this economic climate if the price isn`t right IMO.

Ok guys thank you so much for all of your time and effort. Me and the hubby have a plan now thanks to the advice given 😊. I somehow have 3 viewings this sat which is amazing, so if everyone can keep their fingers crossed for me that would amazing. It's been a tough couple of years and I know I should be thankful for even owning a place of my own but the negatives are outweighing the positives, hopfully once the place is sold I can start remembering the good times xxx

Let us know how you get on OP, hopefully you have spoken to the agent over the inadequate listing?

As others said, the listing is lacking SO MUCH INFORMATION.

Also give us 25-30 photos. Different angles of each room, views outside the windows, view of garden, view of parking, everything. You need to sell people by the photos and description otherwise why would they go visit the property?

It's difficult to see how big or small the place is as the rooms are very empty and limited photos. I seen there is a floor-plan but it can sometimes be much easier to visually see things instead of looking at measurements.

If there was a double/king bed in the bedroom i'd be able to see very quickly if it was something I could live with.

If you paid or are hiring someone to handle the listing, fire them immediately and either do it yourself or look for another person because there is really very minimal effort put into the listing.

I'm a big fan of zoopla over rightmove due to the images being much larger and easier to see. The images uploaded should have been larger as they don't go full screen: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/52679929

25-30 photos is overkill IMO, most people are bored after ten or so.

Hi guys here's the update.
Both viewers on Saturday cancelled and the viewing I did on Friday seemed really keen but is now dodging your moves calls, so that's been a dead end.
I've got an app on Friday with a local estate agents called Delmor and I've got loads points written down from everyone's observations to see if they are any better. Sadly I've got a fee to pay to get away from your move and if we do swap and it doesn't work in the end the hubby is gonna get his way and rent the place out again. 
Cheers for the comments they have been really helpful x

I think I'd complain about the fee, and try to negotiate it down a bit. Their listing is really poor, so you can argue that they have done substandard work.

Oh don't worry I'm going too, I'm just trying to pretend I'm not the angry Scottish lass. 
Because I'm probably going to fill that stereotype by Friday 😁

You might as well blame SKY news as the agent, the economic outlook is brutal, and no one is trying to pretend otherwise any more.
