The first post has the link removed so how are folk commenting on it I wonder ?

We are part of a secret movement to drive down property prices.  We have a superpower where we can share links telepathically.  We meet on the full moon in Crashy's bedsit.

Is there something structurally wrong with the house maybe, subsidence or similar?

The estate agents will receive a tidy sum for selling your house, so if you aren’t satisfied with the photographs they need to redo them. I would also insist to your husband that th e house needs to be marketed by a different estate agent. The first have not succeeded in selling it.

Good luck.

The house has been for sale for two years, most estate agents are making their money from rentals now I think.

Hi we have had more viewings,  one was coming back for second viewing but then found a house closer to where they live.  No feedback and no offers.  Price was reduced.  Been trying to present the house the best I can

It may be worth cutting your losses, winding up the deal with that estate agent and take it off the market. Then find a new estate agent to remarket it in the spring.

What an odd take. I understand your bias towards house pricing, but I don't see anything having changed in that regard.

How much do you need house prices to drop to break even now? 80%?

I was very recently a first time buyer. There were a couple of houses for sale that I thought ticked the right boxes for me (right number and size of bedrooms, location, drive etc) but had been on the market for 18 months plus. As a very wary FTB I assumed there must be something wrong with them and did not arrange viewings. Also, the fact the pictures of the gardens were taken in the middle of the summer and I was looking in the middle of winter seemed like no-one had bothered to update pictures. Made me wonder if they weren't really for sale or if they were unmortgagable.

Sorry, I know my attitude was probably wrong but there might be other FTBs with similar concerns.

Do you mean another reduction, on top of the 20k reduction?
