    £200k is too much for a terraced in Whitefield. I'll be buying next year in the area and will be looking to spend £170k on a three bed semi.

    What is this terraced worth IYO?
  • Number 20 is for sale now too, £170K. A mid-terrace so probably wouldn't be worth as much, says there is off road parking (no garage?) at the back

    What someone will pay for it. But you need to be in the same ballpark as what others are asking to get any viewings.

    My only thought is that I hope a fat person never tries to use your downstairs toilet (pic 5).

    pic clearly doesn't do it justice as i'm a size 20 lol
  • had another viewing today and will get feedback tomorrow, damn this house selling and buying is stressfull. I wouldn't be in any rush but I have seen the house I want and worried it will get an offer before we do :( Do we have to have accepted an offer on ours before we make an offer on a house, sorry for my ignorance but only bought once and never sold!

    Unfortunately yes! You aren't really proceedable at the moment. They may accept an offer but most vendors would continue marketing. Our seller wasn't proceedable or willing to move into rented (told us after 2 months) so we pulled out.

    I think the house looks good. The toilet photo should be removed...it looks incredibly small and would put me off. Just leave it off and let them see it at viewings.

    Good Luck :)
  • Thanks BB, I know we have to have had an offer in order to make an offer but do we have had to have accepted the offer before making an offer?
  • The Brick wallpaper does the GF toilet no favours as it really closes the space in. I would keep all walls light coloured. Floor to ceiling tile mirrors would give an illusion of space also.
