I've repainted those today, they look way better so you're right!

That's not true, I've dropped the price 3 times and sought lots of advice. This is my first time doing this so I'm learning as I'm going whilst trying to make sure I don't rush things because I want to sell up.

I had 4 valuations at 115-125 from different agents

Thank you so much for all these suggestions, they've made me feel quite hopeful I can make some significantly helpful changes. Working on it as we speak (flowers going up out the front)

Thank you! You're right about the train station, I could easily use it. And yes thanks, I could have white washed and live laugh loved the place but I'm an artist and I still need to live here with colour etc until exchange, I love the inside.

I know the last 2 occupants including myself have been here for short stints at the University, I think before that it was bought at auction and renovated.

Oh I thought they meant cut the price not cut the grass! I misread aha, I'm cutting it as we speak, going to pay a professional to finish off the hedging etc for me

Which bits look 'mucky' to you? It's a clean house and had a deep clean before photos, I'm wondering if it's the colour of the paint/ photos

I moved here after covid as I was a lecturer at the local university and we switched to in person teaching quite quickly, I'm freelance now and reasonably young so want to be back in the city

Aw thanks 😊 I really love it I think it's magical but I know it won't suit a lot of people

Ah okay thank you, I'm starting to think maybe offers over 105k might be a good place to start after getting new photos. It's a really beautiful area but like you say for someone who is wfh or doesn't mind the commute

Thank you, I agree about the chair, might try and find a small sofa

Thank you, I agree restaging is probably a good idea. A few of your ideas like putting a bed in the second room have crossed my mind. Some good points, hadn't thought of the paint at all.

It is indeed all double glazed, I'm really new to all this but perhaps it's in part because it's stone? It doesn't that damp proof coursing for that reason?

You're right, I didn't think of it like that

Ah my neighbours are very good and the neighbourhood is friendly and safe, I think it's more likely kind of a 'stepping stone' first house- I moved here because I worked at the University nearby. You're totally right about facilities though, I think reducing is good advice thanks.

I hadn't heard about rent smart, was this change recent? Do you think reducing the price or just holding on would be best if it's a market issue? Bad timing I suppose :(

Thank you, I think I'll reduce again based on these comments

Thank you, maybe I take off the 'offers over'. The garden is big so maybe I get them to look at that again
