Be prepared to accept the absolute minimum you can for the flat that will enable you to buy the house. Good luck

The only way to sell quick is to sell a lot under market value.
Ps. my house has been on the market since July
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Spring begins on 21st March.0 -
I had the same problem - in the end i sold my house that was on the market for £109,000 for £94,000.
I moved into my dream home last Friday - it was worth it0 -

lol Are there any businesses that would buy my flat? Should i sell it online or with a proper agent? I know 2 other flats in the block that have been valued at 104K and i would be willing to accept 95k would that be enough?0

i would go to an estate agent - they might have a mailing list full of people looking to buy a flat in your area for that price range. Good Luck - i hope you get your dream home0

If you want to sell in 2 weeks, I'd give you 70K.
Otherwise, you have to wait

Price is the key thing that will distinguish your flat from other properties in your area. Gone are the days when a lick of paint and a pot of coffee would do the trick.
I sold a very desirable property in a very desirable area late last year by reducing the price from £195K to £180K. Other (comparable) properties that I was in competition with at the time are still languishing on Rightmove at the same price they were at in September 2007- not one of them has shifted. Meanwhile, I'm sitting in my dream house.
Market aggressively by pricing to sell rather than to make money.
HTH and good luck
