    The house was on at £92950 now its on at £87950. And £5k makes a difference to us.

    With £28.5k of debt, I think it might be important to price it at a competitive price to sell and start clearing your debts and prevent more court appearances!

    How long have you owned it, how much is the mortgage, and perhaps even post a rightmove link so people can give you some helpful constructive advice to help you sell?

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    OMG! We're in the worst housing slump for a generation and peeps expect a sale with a house presented like that! :confused:

    £50K might attract interest!
  • OMG its not that bad! prehaps slightly cluttered. Hide it away! get rid of of those wardrobes they make room look tiny also any unneccesary furniture in the living room. everything should look light and airy, it needs to be properly staged. could make things as nutral as possible.

    gert - i do think that if you painted some of your rooms in magnolia it would have a much better apeal - there are a lot of colour clashes between walls and furniture - eg in the lounge - pink and orange - you need to de-clutter and simplify things. look at all the other houses in bury in a similar price range - there are some cracking houses with neutral decor .... give it a go and then get new photos taken

    The photos are terrible - get your EA to take some half decent ones ASAP.

    Just a quick update - house has been on market now for 2 months with no interest -73 people have had details, but only 6 viewings
    Actually, I think that is probably not too bad a conversion ratio. Mrs Incisor and I are probably only viewing 1 in 30 from the details we get.

    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    No, it's not utter rubbish, it's just partial rubbish. It cuts individuals purchase power based on LTV, but leaves it intact on Earnings Multiplier. It will have its strongest effect at the bottom of the market, where an unknown proportion of prospective purchasers will have found their purchasing power reduced by upto half. Net effect will be to reduce house values, but the extent will be less than 50%

    Houses on your street were selling at £10-20k a few years ago. I reckon they'll be back in that range soon enough.
