Small Third Bedroom
We have had a few viewings on our property and all the feedback has been the same - the third bedroom is too small. Obviously we can’t change the size of the bedroom but is there anything else we can do?Mr T, Stretford
Without seeing your property it is difficult to say exactly what could be done but it is worth looking at how the room is furnished.
The ‘box room’ should always be dressed as a bedroom rather than a study and there should be no clutter, just the basic bedroom furniture. This helps show viewers that a single bed will fit in comfortably; without the furniture it can be hard for some people to visualise.
If this has already been tried with no result it may be that your asking price is a little high for a property of your size, after all, everything will sell for the right price.
Try a reduction of at least £5000 to make an impact and bring buyers from a whole new price bracket in to view your property. Look for an agent who offers honest advice based on viewer feedback from yours and similar properties. Some will even offer free ‘house doctor’ advice to make sure that your property is shown at its best.
