Hi sal92,
Thanks for your comments. Yes have spoke to local agents and there are 3 to 4 house near me in my price bracket and none are selling, no viewings - we are all in the one boat. I know what you say about being emotionally attached, I was just a bit on the defensive with davidoco - found him a bit hurtful to say the least. Alot of the viewers had nothing negative to say about the property obviously price is a big issue and affordability - buyers are waiting to see what happens. Some people on this thread have said they sold after 7 to 8 weeks - great for them. Any of the houses at the upper end and I'm not saying these ones weren't are not moving certainly not in an 8 to 10 mile radius of where I live. They are all fine homes but the majority of people don't want to trade up at the moment. I thank you all for your comments be they supportive or not, I take on board and learn from these. I don't think I am alone in not selling the house in x amount of time - even if I were to reduce by E200,000 at the present moment there is too much uncertainty. Thankfully I'm not desparate to move and if needs be have absolutely no problem staying where I am for 5 years or so. To build another house and start from scratch it has to be viable.
Again thanks for comments and I'll end it here before the discussion gets to heated on house prices.
