Home owners change sales tactics - Telegraph

Ivan Kissane and Karen Pugh, have what you might imagine to be the ideal Cotswold barn conversion, at Sulgrave in Oxfordshire. Downstairs is a kitchen with limestone floors, children’s bedrooms tucked into the old piggeries, and a bedroom and bathroom for the grandparents.Upstairs is a cathedral sitting room overarched with oak beams, a master bedroom and bathroom. Since it went on the market in September, they have had one viewing per week. People “ooh”and “aah” over it, but they haven’t had an offer.

Now is the time for a new strategy. They have seen a house they want to buy which has more space for the grandparents, they have a new baby imminent, and they want to make the move, so they asked their agents to drop the asking price from £800,000 to £750,000.
