    Sadly not. We've had 2 viewings so far and one said the kitchen wasn't big enough and the other said the kitchen needed too much work. I don't know if these are genuine comments or if they are just saying it to say something for feedback. I mean you can see from the pictures it's an older kitchen so i don't see why you would still view it.

    We have 2 more booked in for tomorrow so i'll see what happens with those. Looking at similar houses on the market there are a tonne that have even been up longer than mine like up to a year so i wonder if it's just a problem at the moment in my area possibly
    Sadly it comes down to supply and demand, demand for moving house (no one viewing a house is homeless remember) has dropped a lot since borrowing costs started to rise.
    And yet the market data (unsurprisingly) contradicts your comments:

    The OP said their house isn`t selling after dropping the price.

    You made a general comment about the market as a whole, rather than a specific comment about the individual house. You said:

    Individual sales are obviously affected by the general market.

    But one individual house by itself is an anecdote and says nothing about the general market.

    That is like saying it is raining, but only you got wet, all houses are exposed to market conditions so it is very unlikely that there is something wrong with just this particular house?

    Is that because it suits your confirmation bias?

    Plumplot is not free; to get to any useful detail you have to pay.  It also throws up security warnings on my chromebook.  

    For free, secure information, I use Zoopla for property prices and Streetcheck for demographics.

    Never had a security warning, I am using DDG though, and never paid for anything, I am looking at basic stuff  like sales volumes, they appear to be well down right across the country (It doesn`t cover Scotland)
