Desperately trying to sell a house that we've never lived in and is nowhere near where we're currently living. We move around with DH's job and have accommodation provided with that, so we bought the house 6 years ago to keep us on the ladder.

We've already dropped the price from £500k to £490k to now £475k, but there's just zero interest. It's definitely not looking its best having had (good) tenants in for the past few years - some dodgy curtains left up and some hanging off the track! So the pics definitely aren't selling it well.

We live about a 3 hour drive away but I have a week off soon. If I go through there to do some work - what would I be best to focus on? The showhome pics make it look so nice - I presume you can't add a link to these on the Rightmove ad? An empty house is just so unappealing...

I would really appreciate any advice...

Wow ! what a difference !

Did you ' dress ' it yourself ? I hope you did as you had said you had furniture etc.
Well done, I really hope it sells quickly for a price you are happy with.

Thanks! Yes, took my own stuff, so has only cost £180 for the van hire and another £100 for my dad’s flight from Glasgow.

We all wanted to move in too! I do think it’ll make a lovely home for someone.

There's so much interest on Mumsnet that you may have sold it by then!

MaggieFS · 22/02/2024 14:56

Wow that's incredible. Great work and thank you for coming back with an update!

The new photos look so much better @Whywontitsell and I'm pleased for you to see the agent's valuation. Best of luck!
