    You have two problems.  I wouldn't have any confidence with you as a vendor.  The price has been up and down like a yoyo.  You moved it twice in one day .  Secondly, you're using Rightmove.  Unless you're doing your own viewings, potential buyers find it practically impossible to book viewings with them.

    I'd delist, wait a few months, then relist with a proper estate agent who'll save you from yourself.

    @kinger101 I wonder if you’d mind letting me know how to find the price change information on Rightmove listings like you have above.
    I have tried every which way to find a way on Rightmove to get this but have had no success (it’s probably really obvious and I can’t see for looking!)
     I used Property Bee the last time we moved years ago but that is no more unfortunately.
    Many thanks
    I have a Chrome extension called Property Log.

    I agree with the others that your constant price changes make you look desperate to sell. I would remove it from the market for a month or so and then remarket it afresh with a local agent.

    Spend sometime making the bedrooms look more appealing for the new pictures. The rest of the property presents really well.
    There are plenty of wilder and bigger price movements to be found when you use the price tracking tools, the OP`s looks sober by comparison.
