House not getting interest

[sausagetheorangecat]

Friend’s house for sale, she’s said she’s had 8 viewers in 2-3 weeks but no interest at all. ‘Nice but not for us’ generally being said.
any advice/opinions why?
price is correct as per area (affluent) and from different estate agents.

I have to disagree. I wouldn't want a garage conversion - I would want a garage. And the garage conversion hasn't made a good space - the downstairs still feels cramped, particularly around the dining table. It doesn't feel spacious or purposeful. That's just one example.

She's lost a garage.

Garage isn’t living space though and not everyone wants one.

Increasing interior square footage increases the value as it’s priced per sq ft.

In commutersville garages are more valuable than in cities but this probably isn’t far enough out of Liverpool to matter that much.

Downstairs would feel cramped whatever. It’s less cramped with fewer walls and an extra study/utlity.

You're joking. It's the Wirral, it's a Liverpool or Chester commuter area.
It's 10 miles and a tunnel away from the Pool.

Yeah it’s just not 50.

I was going to say it seems to be on a (busy) main road. I wouldn't fancy my chances getting out of the drive across the traffic.
This main road is the route to a big Acute Hospital - imagine the ambulance traffic with sirens going at all hours!
I assume there was a garage at the side which they've turned into another downstairs room?
The front looks bare, either there is no lawn on the left or it has died ! - a few plants in tubs would brighten it up.
IMO waaay over priced.

It's not a particularly good garage conversion, @Aluna .

Yes, Arrowe Park. I used to live next to a by-pass and sirens would wake me up. @ladypenelopepitstop

It's alway the price - it's worth what someone is willing to pay, and the market is slow. It's on a very busy main road? At night sirens shouldn't be problem as the road is pretty empty - and it's not the most used route into Arrowe Park ambulances are more likely to use the M53, and junction 3. Too far to walk into Heswall for the shops/bars/pubs etc? Bedroom 3 is very small.

It’s not the route to the hospital! How did you assume that from google maps 😂😂😂
Theres many other roads and towns before you get to the hospital.
It’s a main road yes but it’s 30mph road. It’s generally busy throughout the day but not of a night

Ahh yeah the dog, it’ll be that. I never clean so there’ll be dog hair & stench everywhere. Maybe I’ll sell her too. I think that’ll best improve our chances of selling

It’s not the route to the hospital! How did you assume that from google maps 😂😂😂
Because we know the area well.

It’s just over 15 mins walk to shops x

If you know it well, you would know it’s not busy if a night. They all use m53 x

Not from Heswall they don't.
😂😂😂😂😂😂

That still doesn’t make what you said true though

They won't be going on the M53.

sure….

Your friend's dog remember 😉

Remember, people on this thread are looking for reasons why it might not be selling, so don't take the criticisms to heart. Good luck with the sale!

From Heswall? Yeah, right.

It's not a particularly good garage conversion

Not sure what that means other than to be snippy for the sake of it. Ive seen a lot worse.

Not intended to be snippy. It makes sense in terms of gaining a study/playroom and utility room.
That you've seen worse ones doesn't make it good.

A study + utility in a small house are not to be sneezed at.

What do you think is so bad about it?

I didn't say it was bad. I said it wasn't a good one.

It's not a small house.
What I don't like about the garage conversion is that it looks a bit like they've maxed out the space.

Think she may be trying to get some attention….making up about sirens and noise on a road she has no idea about 🤷‍♀️😂

I’ve got a really good sense of sensible advice what the original question asked, not really bothered by the rest of it
