You are trying to sell when very few people are buying. Simple as that.
Back at the peak of the market it was well worth doing a makeover on it to get an extra few grand and to quickly close a deal and there are loads of people here that are good at advising on that sort of thing (though it can get a little brutal).
If you are desperate, you can of course drop the price until it sells. Of course it is desperate people (and desperate builders) that trigger major falls in house prices generally.
Assuming you're not desperate, leave it on the market, but forget about moving anytime soon. The good times in property are over for the moment.0 -

There are 55 houses in your town that have 4 bedrooms or more and are priced £240k or under
Push that out to a 3 mile radius and it becomes 86
At 5 miles there are over 100
To get the next possible buyer, your house has to be better or cheaper than the competition. It has to stand out in some way.
Whether you like it or not, if a buyer's got a choice of 55 houses they'll start by viewing those with the clearest/nicest pictures. Visually, your photos don't do you any favours at all, as the others have pointed out.
PN harsh but fair, not one of your normal posts, a bit blunt but sometimes that is how you need to put more of your good valued opinions across.0 -

Denial at its best. Luvin it.
Another classic thread from the 'tell-me-what-I-want-to-hear' brigade. Quality.

Come on snooze, cant blame a girl for trying to get the max out of her assets, bet you paid over the odds for the odd service or two.:rolleyes:0 -
I have read and re-read the replies and think you have been given some good constructive advice. Maybe Landy Andy could have been a bit more tactful.
That was tactful:D .
Actually I was at work and didn't have time for too much sugar coating or advice on redressing the problem. That has been covered by other posters ,though.
I still stand by. 1 The pictures are awful. 2 Some of what they show is guaranteed to put off some buyers. 3 If you HAVE to move, like the OP, you HAVE to price to sell.0 -

Hahaha ... truly laughed out loud0 -
ok perhaps asking for help on here was wrong.
Firstly i am not including the furniture in the sale, secondly i have removed all ornaments and left a few pictures, we do still live hare and the children have they own bits left out, rest is packed. Third i was always told to view a property as white walls as decor can be changed to your own taste. I have reduced house by 25k so far and will reduce again.
No more replys will be necessary. Thank you.
Yes, but given the choice between two otherwise identical houses most people will choose the one not decorated by Stevie Wonder.0 -

:huh:
Sorry but I'm struggling to make the connection between people being told what they want to hear and me supposedly paying over the odds for stuff.
Am I missing something or are you smoking your "green shoots" again? :rotfl:
