No - we haven't overpriced it - our estate agents are good (18 months ago they sold two houses for us and were also selling this one ) what baffles me is that at that time houses around here were selling like hot cakes !
Where the hell have all the people gone that wanted to buy round here ?
They tell us that the market will pick up at end of Jan - we have visas now and want to get moving to Oz - but can't til we've sold this !!

If I was in your position I would be marketing my house at a sellable price so I could get on with my new life in AUS, I assume it is costing you mortgage interest payments to hang onto your house in the UK?
