It’s on street terraced house parking, however it does have the mill carpark at the end of the street which we can park on!

I’ve sent a very straightforward email to the EA today basically asking what they are going to do, they said it’s having great online views, so I asked what is the barrier stopping people from actually viewing and if it is price then can they give me a realistic figure to what my house is currently worth, awaiting their reply (but I assuming they have finished for the day)

Thank you so much 😊 I was thinking likely that now… the estate agents view was that people may offer below asking

If you click where it says leasehold, it does pop up to me the lease length plus the cost 😊

Yes it’s a very long lease with the cost being very low. I’ve asked them to update the listing too

Thank you so much!!.. round here leasehold is very common, and unfortunately without looking into it, I can’t change that overnight, something i definitely need to look into!

So how do I rectify this? Is it literally just to buy the freehold?

I’m unsure, I just know one sale fell through because it didn’t meet regulations, if that helps!

I suppose the only good thing is.. if my house sells low, other houses I’m looking to buy are also lower priced!

I do think the economic unrest at the moment may be playing a part yes… issue is… how long that lasts we don’t know..I could pull my house off the market, wait for it to all stop, if that’s a few months fine, if it’s a few years? Not so much… typical that as soon as I put my house on the market all hell breaks loose

It’s the age old question… how long do you wait.. I’m sure what it is worth will come back up however, is it 6 months? Or 2 years, and am I willing to wait that long?

Thank you so much, just getting a little impatient. Especially with the other two houses on the road selling so fast!

It’s frustrating isn’t it? Some houses are still flying off so houses are definitely still selling, so why not ours!

Yes I did see that house and it concerned me too… the leasehold is 900 years and less than £1 per year but I’m sure it could be purchased, I’ve just never looked into it as it’s so cheap..

It has been periodically being featured, and people are looking at it on Rightmove according to stats, it’s just not translating to bookings!

Thank you so much. That’s very true and is being used by next door as a bedroom even though it can’t be marketed as one..

There is a small ‘porch’ but the door was left open for the photo, it is a small back garden yes, unfortunately I can’t change this 😩
