Blimey....you'd have been better painting it in neutral tones, had minimal furnishings, wooden blinds at the windows (Ikea - cheap but tasteful) rather than nets and then you could have knocked £2,500 off the asking price.
What did this 'dresser' do for the £2,500 that you could not have done?YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)
really....it's not hard to understand :T0 -

If anything it's a little overstyled - I can't see the market who wants a trendy flat with a country kitchen? Young executives probably want something less retirement home looking than the block and the cosy retirement home block want something a bit cosier. To be honest though it's just fluff any property will sell if priced correctly in any market.

Pinkshoes, mine had a new bathroom and kitchen and is immaculate throughout after just paying a dresser two and a half thousand pounds, the other flat has what looks like the original bathroom and the kitchen is so bad they won't even show it.
What price would you recommend for mine?
I would recommend putting it on at £119,950, so the same price as the other one for sale.
When it comes to buying, people won't pay £5k more for a new kitchen and bathroom, as if they do it themselves, they might see it as adding value, so would just go with the cheaper flat.
It depends if you WANT to sell it or not. If you really want to sell it, price it the same as the other flat.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
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!)0 -

DONE.
Thank you everyone for the advice.

Update - in the past month there's been around 3 viewings at the price you advised me to reduce it to - £119,950
I'm still paying for an empty flat - £500.
We were just about to try a new Estate Agent and the old one's just rang with an offer of 110k.
I was wondering what your advice was..? (It's a young girl with mortgage approval presently living with her parents).

I would try to negotiate them up a bit on principle but I don't think you should let this buyer go. Good luck.0 -
grab it and run then say a little prayer that you have escaped by the skin of you teethIt is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
the next offer will come.....maybe in two years time at a lot less than now...It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
