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

[Onwayto50]

I wasn’t sure how to title this - but we put our house on the market 3 weeks ago and have had utter tumbleweed. I’m including a link - am I missing something? I think it’s priced right for the market and I think the photos are lovely but maybe I’m too close to it?? AIBU to think we should have had a least a little interest? Or am I missing something glaring??

I’m really put off by ‘in excess of’, it irritates me.

Opposite crematorium? That would be off putting for me

Also I’d be worried about the property/ neighbours adjoining to the left as it looks completely uncared for.

The garage at the bottom of the garden isn’t ideal, I know because I had one, so you are carrying shopping and car eats and shepherding children through the garden in the drizzle or parking on the street. I think most people spending that money want a better layout, easy off-street parking and less work to do. The garden needs a lot of love and a fair bit of money.

The market is really slow at the moment.
we sold our house they day of moving the buyer pulled out !! That was March and we’ve only had 6 viewings in this time.
Very frustrating ! I think your kitchen is fine it shows space and let’s be honest most people, do it up as they want .

Most people hate offers in excess of. I think it's definitely overpriced and should be on with an asking price of 349K max so it stays within the max 350K on rightmove.

It's a stylish and attractive house for sure, but I know that area and it seems too much for what it is.

I love it, OP. At the risk of being predictable, it must be the price.

Wow. The angles on those photos are SO much better!

I'd definitely get the agent back to get photos taken on the same way. The house doesn't look anywhere near as thin in those, and the garden looks so much better (is that an outbuilding at the end?)

I can't comment on the price, but your agent's photographer has really let you down

That price sounds way too high for a terraced home, that isn't in a capital city or the south east.

Regardless of whether it’s overpriced - which many posters believe it is - for me, the interior just lets it down hugely. From the outside it looks like a lovely period property, but the photos of the interior show no original features or character. It looks as though it has been unsympathetically overdeveloped. There’s not really anything you can about that, though.

The house looks very narrow. It's all been shot on a wide lens to make it look wider - but it's just made the space look more awkward.
The shelves in the kitchen look odd.
The garden is a mess.

Your curb appeal and front garden is lovely. You’ve definitely made the most of it there.

I am! Thanks for sharing, that's a beautiful piece - I've loved the poem for a long time but had no idea music had been composed for it ❤️

It's a nice enough house but the kitchen is weird and the photos of the downstairs living room make it look huge from one angle and tiny from another. There's too much clutter in the photos for me - the printer under the console table could be on the empty desk and set that up as a proper home working space, the hanging rail in the bedroom just emphasises that there's no space for a wardrobe. Same with the towels on the side of the bath when you've an empty dresser next to it, that's just weird and detracts from the fact it's a really big bathroom with a separate bath and shower! The garden looks a mess and like the fence might blow down in the next storm. Has the loft conversion got proper planning permission and building regs etc to be used as a 4th bedroom?
It seems like a lot of house for the money to me but compared to what else is on in the area it does seem over priced

5 bedroom end of terrace house for sale in Harrowby Road, Grantham, NG31
yours is definitely not in the same price bracket as this unless you're in something like the most desirable high school in the county and they're not! 4 bedroom detached house for sale in Garden Close, Grantham, NG31

Strongly agree.

Also the football thing under the bed and the anfield sign just conjures images of difficult neighbours out in their garden drinking beer and watching football each summer. It’s clearly a kid’s bedroom hence the football news and house looks to be in a quiet residential area but it psychologically makes you hear football chants. Or maybe that’s just me…but coupled with the garden picture it would put off some people.

the floors and walls - can’t remember which image but feel like they were green?- look dull. Like something doesn’t look right about it. A grey, dragged down feeling. The bathroom rug looks like it’s hiding something too. It’s not uplifting. And as it doesn’t appear to need much work, you’re not looking at developers, so you want people to be able to imagine themselves in there but right now your own style is too obvious and there’s too much evidence of people living there. People want to buy hotel - you know other people have slept in the bed before you but you can’t really see the evidence of it.

The colourful accents are ott - many people just don’t have the visual ability to imagine their own stuff in there hence why the go to is white/magnolia and space. Nothing out of the ordinary bar a few nice pieces and flowers.

there’s also no flow through the house in the photo order. The estate agents have done you dirty on these if they did them and didn’t advise better. I’d get a new agent asap.

The house looks fine, possibly needs a new bathroom.

I have just looked on Zoopla though and for that price you can get a detached house with a large garden in the same postcode range. I understand location in that will differ but I personally would want the larger house.

Your house is gorgeous @Onwayto50

It's a terraced house so you've always got the potential for shitty neighbours, the garden looks nonexistent and it's just too expensive for the area. It's a beautiful house but no real usable outside space + terraced = not worth that price.

I don't like the carpets they seem industrial / corporate and suck any kind of sense of comfort out of every single room.

The kitchen is a design disaster

The back garden looks completely neglected and just a place you'll pass through when you take out the bins.

It's the price and also the kitchen.

You may love your kitchen layout but a lot of people will be looking at it thinking it's really badly planned and a poor use of space, limited storage and weird sight lines.

Most people will be factoring in the cost of a new kitchen on an already toppy asking price.

Compared to this house, cheaper, no weird layout of expensive to alter rooms and an extra bedroom.

The fridge freezer is at the end of the kitchen, at the opposite end to the doors into the garden.

@Pipsquiggle Inside that house is lovely but that concrete back garden is horrendous. I am thinking of the cost of pulling up paving.

I agree. It looked nicer last time.
And yes, it is the price.
But I also think toning down all the crazy colours, getting rid of the industrial looking carpets in the living room will help get people through the door. Especially in conjunction with a price reduction.

Kitchen is strange, middle floor looks tired.
Plus, houses in same are for less without the above issues.
