Its been on the market for a month with no offers and no more viewings even booked in. The seller is a landlord who's owned it for 20 years so I don't think they're in a hurry to sell. Its in a great location but compared to the one 2 doors down that sold last year for cheaper it basically needs a full renovation. If they laugh it off and block us, fine, it's too expensive for what it is.

Very similar to the house we bought which had been a student let the past 10 or so years - originally listed in August 2020 for offers over 225, dropped to overs over 215 in October 2020, we didn’t view it until April 2021 - 195 rejected, 205 rejected but then a week later after them pushing for 2-3k more and me saying ‘no thanks’ they accepted 205.
When first listed, houses on the same street in much nicer condition were going for about 240 or so, and were being snapped up in a few days to a couple of weeks.
Landlord/seller also turned out to be super slow, didn’t empty the house of furniture at all, had hundreds of letters in their name piled up, and left £300 of debts on the meters.

Was it really worth a try ?
If someone had offered 40k less when I was selling a few months back I'd have laughed out loud and told the agent not to correspond any further with them.
