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

I thought it looked nice, and I like your bright colours, my suggestion would be to declutter and remove as much stuff as you can, particularly personal items. And definitely get the photos redone, preferably by a photographer who specialises in real estate.

Admittedly I'm in Australia and very different but we were told to remove anything personal as it helps people visualise it as their own.

Good luck with your sale.

Usual nasty, rude posters. It’s fine if you think OP has over priced the property but she’s put herself out there with revealing her clearly much loved home so can’t people find it in themselves to at least say something nice along with their views about price??

OP you asked for the reasons why you weren't getting any viewings so we told you. You think the photos were lovely but many have disagreed.They are showing the full potential. A lot of people don't like the kitchen & these are valid reasons why potential buyers aren't booking to view, they're not personal attacks. Maybe just retake them from different angle or something especially the kitchen one . I like your garden actually it looks like a good space to relax in.

I know you said you weren't coming back @Onwayto50 but I know you will be reading. I'm so sorry that you have been upset about peoples comments - tiz AIBU and people are harsh! 😬May have been better posting it on the Property board. (I don't think I was rude, if I was I apologise.)

But anyway, try not to take the comments to heart, people have different views and opinions, and frankly, I think your house looks BETTER than when someone listed it in 2018. I think it's lovely inside. It looked bland and dull before. Some other posters have said it's nice too.

All I would suggest is maybe re-taking some of the photos because some of them do make the rooms look long and narrow, and I can see from the room measurements that they're not. The photos also make the rooms look smaller than they are. They don't look as big on the photos as the actual measurements IYSWIM.

And yes it can be classed as a 4 bed, even 4/5, because of the extra room in the basement, (and regarding the smallest bedroom, just because a bedroom is small that doesn't mean it's not a bedroom - as several posters have said! )🙄My younger DC had a bedroom around that size til they we moved to a bigger 4 bed home, (when they were 11,) and they managed perfectly well in it for 11 years. Your smallest bedroom is 10 ft 3 X 6 ft 3, our smallest bedroom was 10ft X 7t!

And yes, other houses around you don't have as much room as you (because of said extenstion.) Ignore people saying you have no right to bump up the price, because ALL houses have gone up loads since then. You have every right to ask whatever you want. Of course, if it's not selling, you may need to drop it. It could be a bit overpriced now (sorry!) You may need to drop it 5 or 10 thousand. though, as I think £395K is a bit overpriced for it (sorry.) Even with the extension and the fact it is nice, I think it's too much for a terraced house. (That maybe has no parking, I can't see any on the listing...) I suspect you may need to drop it to around £360K to even have someone look at it.

Hopefully someone has seen your house on here and fancies buying it! (Or you do pick up some tips from some of the posts here) Even the harsher ones!

Good luck. Happy moving.

p.s, You could report your thread to Mumsnet and ask them to delete it if it's upsetting you.

I'm not quite sure.

The OP didn't know what the problem was and wanted to know. Despite then admitting the kitchen was marmite which baffles me. If you know your kitchen is marmite then you know it has a much more limited pool of potential buyers. That's being in denial rather than not knowing what the problem is.

There is a resounding issue with the awful kitchen no one liked at all and the terrible layout where you have to walk ALLLLL the way up and ALLLLL the way down to a) use the kitchen, b) get into the lounge because of the total lack of thought by the person who made those design choices.

Most people totally understood this wasn't a choice by the OP to do those things; they were inherited by the owner. And they can't really be changed.

Ultimately if you have so many posters telling you this, there's your problem. It's nothing personal. It's not being vile. It's just something that a lot of people just aren't prepared to live with. They CAN see past decoration and taste differences, and that's part of the problem.

And you are still stuck with an awful layout that is either going to cost a lot to put right or you are going to have to live with.

So the OP needs to understand that they either have to keep their house on the market for ages, fully understanding that very few people will choose to even look at the house OR they understand the problems with layout need to be taken seriously with the price. Just because the estate agents have given a standard price based on square footage doesn't mean they are right about the price. Clearly they are not accounting for so many people disliking the layout and the kitchen but it's a very big problem with trying to sell.

As I say, previous posters have nailed the problem when they say it's essentially a house which needs a lot of work in the eyes of many, but has the premium price tage of a renovated house, that doesn't need any work.

Thing is, the OP liked the house. So it's getting your head around what appealed to the OP. I'm fairly sure that being £100k cheaper was one of those factors. The higher price alone, in an era where wages are fairly stagnant, acts to restrict the number of possible buyers because there's less people who can borrow that much money.

The Harlaxton Rd one is on the A607, perhaps an even busier road than Op's!

Also no garage & possibly a smaller garden.

Not saying that Op's isn't overpriced though.

ok noted. I thought you might have meant it was Georgian or more recent. Sorry.

Just seen update from OP, seems weird to ask for feedback then obviously get annoyed by it...

Looks like lovely house, but the kitchen does look weird - no units just a long island? Maybe photos don't show it - so could they be redone?

Kitchens are pricey to replace so that would be put me up for a house that looks 'done'.

Garden looks good size, but maybe some planters to vegetation it up a bit might help and make it seem more inviting?

It's the kitchen though for me that makes me think not right house.

Watched the walkthrough and the kitchen area is really unappealing to me personally, but may suit others. Also the bathroom looks very meh and dated. Realistically your best solution is to drop the price 50k and see how it goes, while also getting the estate agents to rearrange the photos (put the nice living/dining area on first as that’s the best bit of the house) and possibly retake a few.

Also maybe put some nice artwork up above the radiator in the kitchen to bring a bit more warmth to the kitchen area as there’s a big empty wall there. If you want to go a bit more extreme, spend a grand replacing the upstairs carpets before a reshoot.

The OP has said they won't be back.

Stupid posting as putting it on Property would still have got plenty of traffic.

Yet another AIBU OP pissing and moaning after, er... posting on AIBU for opinions.

And yes, overpriced, badly photographed, terrible kitchen and scruffy presentation.

i do agree that the floor plan should have measurements - I hadn’t clocked that! And I do know there are lots of other houses 4 beds for less money - many of them on estates and therefore normal estate style houses whereas mine is from 1908 and a typical Victorian house.

The house looks like millions of others crammed into roads across every UK town and city - average and unremarkable. If it was built in 1908, it's Edwardian but that's irrelevant in this case.

It’s a lovely looking home. There’s a bit of clutter under the console table in the dining area and in the bedrooms that I would put away, as it suggests you have little storage. Ultimately I think it’s price. What comparables did the estate agent show you, and did you pick the highest suggested price from the estate agents that came to value? Edited: to add that they do this to flatter you and get your business, they’ll be planning to suggest a price decrease soon.

The photos aren’t doing you any
justice- no photo of the corridor/hallway. There needs to be some sort of logical order too- as if the buyer is walking through it. A view out of the garden doors too- the kitchen looks unfinished? Where are all the appliances- I can’t imagine living here- it would be better either completely empty or you need to dress it properly for that price! The rooms look like students digs and I lost interest in the rest of the photos as they all looked samey, almost clinical. On paper you can demand that price due to basement and loft, but looking at the photos I wouldn’t consider it worth more than 350k at all!

The kitchen would put me off. There are no wall units for example. It does not look like enough storage for me!

The garden looks more a driveway than a garden. A small strip of land. That's the only thing that would put me off. Surely they could photograph that differently. Chuck a few chairs out there.

To be fair, stylewise it's pretty much victorian design rather than artsy edwardian.
So split the difference guys😁
It's Vicwardian

If it isn't getting viewings maybe change the price to "offers over 370" which means it would come in the Rightmove 350-375 bracket. A lot of people set their alerts for specific price brackets but may be willing to come up if they feel they are getting a lot of house for their money.

1908 and a typical Victorian house.

1908 is Edwardian and several years away from being Victorian.

It really isn't - it was built in 1908. Victoria died in 1901. It is Edwardian.

I can see why they didn't show a picture of the garage

I'm not sure why you said that people saying they didn't like the kitchen wasn't constructive, OP. You didn't know why people weren't coming to look. The kitchen is a deal breaker for me. I cook a lot from scratch and the tiny kitchen is what would stop me looking. Isn't that just the feedback you were asking for? Why people weren't coming to look? I hoped it might offer you an idea from my perspective at least.

That Harlaxton Rd one at £235k is a lovely house. Good sized kitchen, lots of storage space, nice garden. It looks like a great family home.

Great find. This house looks even nicer and better laid out than OP's and sold for £150k less. It appears OP has significantly misunderstood the current market conditions.

Looking at the map it seems you are right by the crematorium- could that be putting people off?
