    I hadn't noticed the kitchen unit handles till they were pointed out. I don't think thats enough to prevent a sale but its certainly odd. That would drive me mad.

    If I were looking in this area I would want a house as far from the motorway as possible. This house is quite near and some of the comparisons were even closer.

    Even worse, but SO is the deal breaker IMO, people have woken up to how much of a scam this is.

    OP got taken for a ride, their supposed buyers pulled out when the vendor rented it to them, now the OP has an unreliable tenant who doesn't keep their word. I hope you get your tenants out without much expense

    The "expense" of this adventure was baked in as soon as they signed up for shared ownership I`m afraid.

    Not read all the thread. I have seen a lot worse for sale as in worse condition, very untidy, obvious major problems etc.

    Seems OK looking, nothing particularly stands out other than the kitchen handles which appear to be in the wrong place. Never seen handles placed near the top of wall hung units. Looks very odd to me.

    I think tenants is an issue as as it will put many people off plus you will only attract a small number of people because it is shared ownership. Small pool of people to start with who would want your house because of shared ownership minus all the ones within that group who will be put off by tenants = not a lot of people who will want to buy.


    You can ask for tenants to be gone before finalising the sale, not much you can do about SO?
