PPC_Appeals   10 #49 Posted March 15, 2015 As some one who has bought houses via the internet IMHO the things not good on rightmove for your house are. Solar panels no description of who owns FIT, how old etc No garage description Odd coloured garden fence, shed and small wooden structure. Shaded back garden in pics not good. Kitchen/dinning room looks lost no identity Back garden not flat and looks awkward to cut grass Orange wall in bedroom . Tidy exterior but needs a clean Study looks like a tiny living room. No bath  Not meaning to sound negative just my opinion  Very good points, to be fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #50 Posted March 16, 2015 Maybe it depends where you are in S6 - certainly around the south road area of walkley, in s6, I have found it extremely difficult to buy, being outbid every time (even with over asking price offers).  I've been selling towards the lower end of Walkley Lane, it's not that far from South Road, but maybe it's enough to make a difference.

Nicotrod   10 #51 Posted March 16, 2015 If I'm being really honest I wouldn't choose or even consider S5 if I was working within that budget. It's not the bestpposition for commuting to Manchester or South of Sheffield. It takes a while to get into the city centre and, please don't lynch me saying this... there are simply a lot more far more desirable areas of the city.  Other small niggles:  Definitely the lack of a bath The shape of the kitchen- it's more of a gallery kitchen and that can be less family friendly. For appeal- the picture of the solar panels should be taken with the sun on them.  But it comes down to location and price for me. I'd prefer to buy a 3 bed on the south west side for less money.

denlin   12 #52 Posted March 16, 2015 I would say it is at least £50.000 overpriced if a 4 bedroomed house which looks better can't sell at £143,000 and has been on market for a year. Also OP seems to have it on market since 2008. I don't live far from Monteney and nobody will buy in this area at that price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't live far from Monteney and nobody will buy in this area at that price  I think you have got a bit confused.  The 4 bed is on for £195k, the £143k I was referring to was one of the new build 3 bed detached Gleeson homes.  The one I linked to in 2008 is when I believe the OP bought it, not that it has been on the market since then. Without checking the thread I think they said it had been on for 5 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nightrider   13 #54 Posted March 17, 2015 I've been selling towards the lower end of Walkley Lane, it's not that far from South Road, but maybe it's enough to make a difference.  I'm not sure, I have not looked too much at the lower end. Maybe I should, because buying at the upper end seems to be next to impossible due to the number of buyers competing for every house.

illuminati9   10 #55 Posted March 17, 2015 I just brought a house in S5 and i barter from £78000 to £61000. its a buyers market as it is hard to get a mortagage. Try watch the program location, location then reduce the price to around £160,000 then you might get a few views. be ready to be barter down to £140,000ish as that will be the going rate for that area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maybe I should, because buying at the upper end seems to be next to impossible due to the number of buyers competing for every house.  We're hopefully about to complete our sale, otherwise I'd have got you to come and view.  ---------- Post added 19-03-2015 at 13:42 ----------  I think I'd have to agree with over priced.  http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-33123666.html  this one is sold STC, 10k less, 1 bedroom more, has another reception room (dining room), and a full sized family bathroom with a bath.  ---------- Post added 19-03-2015 at 13:44 ----------  I think that one is basically larger, looking at the dimensions as well.

I'd prefer to buy a 3 bed on the south west side for less money.   Agreed, no bath is going to put a lot of families off straight away - which is most of your target audience.  I'd also look to get the garden photos retaken on a sunny day at noon - those photos make it appear as if it never sees the Sun (i appreciate the the photos were taken in the Winter).  May also be worth retaking the lounge photos, without that foot stool and the single armchair to the right. It looks too crowded at the moment.  Price...it's got to come down to compete with similar 3 beds in the area. No point in placing it up against similarly aged / styled 4 bed houses, given the choice which would you buy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
waiting1 Â Â 10 #59 Posted March 28, 2015 It certainly was overpriced at 210k. You can get a 3 bed house in S10 for the same. Look at this for example: http://www.saxtonmee.co.uk/properties/1924 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Love2print   10 #60 Posted March 28, 2015 The Op hasn't been back for some time and they haven't reduced the price. I don't think they are going to reduce the price any time soon. The funny thing is there a new feature on Rightmove which shows nearby properties, one of which is this one in Grenoside: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-40953461.html, which is a 3 bed detached with on for £165k.
