Reasons for a house on the market to be suspiciously cheap(ish)

[Pookythebear]

Just that really. We are not really in the market to move right now, but always keep our eyes open for anything that might pop up in a few areas that we like, as its always an option for the future. How I missed it before I don’t know, but my dream property (rural, detached, period) loomed up on rightmove yesterday.

But for this area (SE England) it’s about £100k less than Id expect it to be. It is rural and is about 10miles from nearest train station - but that doesn’t tend to put estate agents off asking the most they can. I spoke to the estate agent this morning who describes it as well presented. It’s been on the market for a year with lots of viewings and only one offer which fell through. My suspicions are aroused and I guess until we view it ourselves we won’t know but does anyone know the usual reasons...?

TIA

beside a pylon? if not it will be due to size possibly and maybe sellers really want to move quickly.
i also think its due to the fact that it really is a three bedroom as accessing the dressing room and making it into a true 4th bedroom would mean two very small bedrooms.
also 1500 sq ft is not a huge house. some houses just arent as big as they look. plenty of interwar semi-detaches with a kitchen extension can be roughly 1200 sq ft but this house looks huge in comparison and its only 1500sq ft.

oh, d'oh, you've seen it. thats a shame, it did seem small on floor plan. good luck.

No chance or way of changing the upstairs layout then OP?

That's a shame.

I was rather hoping for a bit of woo with a haunting or something!
