    What do these houses normally sell for ?, what do you genuinely think it's worth. It is probably typical of many properties of this type in the area, spend a fortune on it and you will never get the money back. Live in it for 5 years then move on.

    It is what it is...

    Listed 4th March, so not exactly stale.
    Several comparables at similar or higher prices, nothing lower. Nothing seems to be lingering on the market.

    I doubt you'll get much off.

    There's not much to compare it to in terms of nearby sold prices which makes it hard to determine what it's worth. But as you said, we don't want to buy something that needs lots of work as we won't make profit on it, which this property doesn't seem to need too much work so would be perfect for a starter home - thanks for your response :)
