To think that it’s odd no one has come to look?

OP has flounced as did not like the opinions..........

Totally agree and very similar in size to OP's with a converted cellar too. I think the size /cellar conversion was felt to justify the high price in one of OP's responses.

Yes. Am assuming it was jointly owned previously and that as part of the divorce settlement one party bought the other party out of their share for £50k and that this was registered along with the revised title at land registry.

Ie, the whole property was not sold at that price and the price was related to a divorce agreement not the value of the property.

No idea of the area, I live in London so house prices are insane.

It does look a bit cluttered though - if we move I will be hiding all the 'crap'.

The 2018 photos are a better job than current photographer. The front house shot, garden/seating areas and kitchen especially. So that would be easy fix to get those shots taken again.

Not in a town that’s stuffed to the gills with them.

This is a beautiful house in so many ways, but buyers aren’t very visual types and can’t see through someone else’s life. They don’t see potential, they see problems. It’s up to you to make it look like there are no problems and there’s a dreamy life waiting for you when you buy this house.

Also, there’s a mental addition of what it would cost to make it right for a boring everyday buyer:

New kitchen - it seems off-putting for 95% of potential buyers
New upstairs bathroom - that shower screen needs a clean and it looks dated
Fixing death stairs at the back of the house - no handrail and they look very steep.
Creating the basement room into a liveable space with fitted cupboards etc.
Creating the attic room into a liveable space aswel - where do you store Christmas decorations and camping equipment.

I’m already £40,000 in to mental renovations before I have even taken a closer look. And most buyers can’t be bothered with a project.

Estate Agents always overvalue a house at the beginning. Then they’ll drip feed the comments and you have to continue to drop.

Their job is to get people through the door so they’ll have to drop the price to do that!

It's a bit all over the place.

Like you've tried to be an interior designer but missed the mark.

Garden is not great.

Not sure what's going on with the kitchen.

And the price.

Probably that one half of a divorcing couple remortgaged for 50k to buy out their ex.

I must check the listing for mine to see if our additional 25k mortgage taken to do works on the property is shown as a 'sale'.

I know nothing about the area so can’t comment on price - the big issue is the kitchen for me - it just looks like an island in an empty room - photos need sorting out .

stressful isn't it. The house is only worth what someone else will pay, not how much you like it! The listing above yours on that rightmove link is a bigger detached house 1/3 mile away with a garage for £10k more (also not sold).

your home is lovely, but it's cosmetics don't outweigh location size and facilities which make the value, they just speed the sale once the price is right

I have no idea about the prices in Grantham but while I am prepared to believe it's overpriced, I think it's a bit insulting and outlandish to suggest the OP has put it on for almost double what it's worth! Victorian and Edwardian houses command a premium. You can't compare it with every other three bed terrace, including poky ex-council houses or ugly, flimsy 80s and 90s builds or new builds with tiny rooms, no front garden to speak of and no proper pavement outside.

If you are still reading OP, then I think that while you had to correct a lot of misconceptions, those misconceptions are really useful feedback for you. It shows what is wrong (eg sale history) or not accurately conveyed in the pictures (spaciousness etc). You need that floor plan corrected asap too.

I have a huge island like that in my kitchen too. It's remarkably practical with loads of storage on both sides and lots of worktop space. BUT, and this is important, the space one side of it is still wide enough for a run of wall units, my sink, cooker, dishwasher, fridge freezer etc, so it doesn't feel like it's floating between two pointless, empty corridors that minimise usable space rather than maximising it.

I think some people lack the imagination to see how their life would fit into a house from photos. Especially when yours is decorated specifically to your taste which of course it should be it’s your home. I don’t think the photos do it any justice and so I’d ask for new ones to be taken.

Dress the beds better, no wrinkled duvets or flat cushions. Sadly it seems you have to make it look more like a show home these days and sell a lifestyle rather than just allow people to figure it out for themselves.

My dh couldn’t sell his house at first so I staged it somewhat and it sold on the first viewing. Lots of people can picture how they would make it theirs but so many more can’t.

OP your house looks fabulous. I would love a kitchen like that. Hope you make a sale.

You don't seem to have a proper kitchen, which is offputting. Your bedrooms are set across 3 floors which means it isn't suitable for families with young children.
It also looks like a posh youth centre for children, professional and lovely furniture but not a home.

It's the price. Three bed terraces are selling for around £200K in your area so asking twice that much for a four bed just isn't going to fly.

I don't think it's smug and 'helpful' to say, in response to: "I don't understand why no-one has looked. Can anyone tell me why?" with a comment that basically says, "I wouldn't look because the kitchen wouldn't suit my needs. It's too small for me." It completely answers the question. It doesn't mean it's not a lovely kitchen for someone else, it's just not the right one for me and why I, as an individual, wouldn't look. What's more helpful than genuinely answering the question asked to help OP understand?

I think much of the house is lovely but I would be out off by the layout downstairs. I always think it’s such a shame to knock down walls and stick a box on the bag of a lovely period house. I would never consider a house of that size which didn’t have a separate dining room. I also really don’t like the kitchen and it seems incredibly badly designed. The front looks lovely from the outside but the back garden couldn’t look much less attractive .

Being nice won't help her solve the property though!

This is the problem with getting yourself tied up in knots about being polite and desperately trying not to offend anyone, when what you actually asked for (and need) is honest feedback.

I get that it’s frustrating to be told your house is overpriced when you’ve priced it according to the advice of the estate agents, who are the experts. Not many people are going to have their house valued at £390k then say ‘actually I think it’s only worth £300k so I’m going to ignore you and put it on for that’. They go with what they’re told.
However the fact that there have been no viewings does suggest it’s a price issue. On paper, according to square footage etc it may be ‘worth’ a certain amount, but in reality it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay.
Someone in that area is only going to spend £390k on a a mid terrace house if it’s the most perfect mid terrace house they’ve ever seen, and I think in this case all the small ‘niggles’ such as the unusual kitchen, uncared for garden and industrial looking carpets mean that there are just too many downsides for it to be worth the financial outlay.

These (and @Zov) long “smug but helpful” responses are even worse the the outright rude ones - it’s like a gleeful take-down!

To reiterate, I think your house is gorgeous downstairs but the garden and bedrooms need work, just in a styling way though rather than expensive make-over.

I think getting new photos down and reducing the price a bit are also crucial.

I actually received some really good advice from Mumsnet last year when a property I was selling didn’t have much interest, and I ended up having new photos taken with me supervising the photographer. Interest went right up and we had an offer soon afterwards, actually from someone who’d disregarded it previously, based on the original photos.

I did have to sift through some horrid responses to get to the good advice though - some people picked up on a minor unrelated aspect and just piled on!

I thought the OP's response was perfectly fine ,I don't know why posters are having a go at her .
But i don't understand this

1. to whoever queried that it was sold for £50k about 10 years ago - nope that was an anomaly and to do with a divorce!
