Bushy22 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We are selling our lovely home. It has been on the market for 5 weeks and we have had no viewings at all ! We arranged an open viewing last Saturday..................not a sausage ! I am chasing up the estate agent every other day ...........still nothing ! We have now reduced the price from 210K to 199,500K, theory is that it will be picked up in the search criteria up to 200K..............still nothing ! It is a lovely, modern, spacious family home in a good location. Private corner plot on a quiet cul-de-sac - couldn't wish for better neighbours. The feedback we are getting is that it is due to the S5 postcode ? I am now loosing the will to live - comments and advice please!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchcoll Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Put a link to the property on here so people can see the house and offer advice. Is the price similar to the same kind of properties in the same area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2print Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm going to guess Monteney Gardens. If it is, is it this one http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-48280798.html? If so there is a 4 bed on there for £194,950 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-31733664.html I looked an ex-council house opposite but it needed too much work for the price. Your close to Ecclesfield and I have to say the houses round there look nice. But some will be put off by the S5 postcode plus you are also competing with the likes of this: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-44839984.html?premiumA=true at £143, 995 its cheaper and a new build which for some will be all it takes even though its smaller.

Bushy22 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-48280798.html? Thanks guys, yes this is ours. If people actually come and have a look they will see that it is:- Compared to new builds - The estate/cul-de-sac is a lot smaller and more private. The houses are not as close together and have more space to park Ours is a corner plot - private enclosed large rear garden and patio area. Compare to the 4 bed - This will be a matter of personal preferance due to the position Private corner plot with recently renewed fence installed. Larger rooms (although 3 bedrooms) Recent fully fitted modern new family bathroom Recent fully fitted wardrobes in master bedroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnhindle Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Have you asked Haybrook to give you a Rightmove report? It looks at how many people are looking at your property etc and might be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
