Had to reduce price to 2003 level!!

3under3 · 2008-05-14 11:06:19

Have been trying to sell an appartment for ages now, almost pre credit crunch! Started at a cheeky price, then reduced several more times. It's now reduced to what an identical place sold next door for in 2003! Trying to take advice on here not to chase the market down so taking off a big chunk now. Fingers crossed.. if it…

From link to 2nd unrelated flat in same block: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-17213425.rsp?tr_t=buy&pa_n=1&mediamode=pictures&curr_media_n=0&from_showcase=false

Not only is it on at £360k but that price appears to be 16% higher than any have ever sold before. Top price ever in that road was £300k in 2006

Wonder if it's the same place

That one has an amazing wet room/ 9 ft shower. To be fair it is the penthouse, it probably is worthy of being the most expensive flat on the raod but I doubt now is the right time to sell.

If 3 flats in what looks like a small block are for sale, i wonder what's wrong with the block?

Stll don't want a bathromm where I have to cover up when I get out of the bath.
