House for Sale in Stretford
I have a house for sale in Stretford and it is not selling. It has been on the market for 5 months and only had about 2 viewings. My neighbour who went with the expensive agent up the road has had loads of viewings and has sold the house in about a month. He can afford the expensive agent because he is a bit flash and bragged recently about spending £20,000 on a new kitchen and bathroom. I updated my house in 1966 just in time for the World Cup Final and it is still going strong. They just don’t build ‘em like they used to. I am asking £5,000 more than my neighbour but I have a garage that my father installed just after the war (it even had electricity installed). My neighbour has one of those horrible concrete and pebble-dash things with an up and over door whereas mine has craftsman installed wooden doors. My father last painted the garage in 1947 and still looks great.Gordon.
Gordon, I suggest that you wait approximately 5 years. Then get 5 Estate Agents round to provide you with a market appraisal of your property. Hopefully with several years appreciation, a strong pound, a good head wind you will achieve the price that you are hoping for.
