THOSE hoping to get on the property ladder might struggle to do so in the coming weeks, according to data from Zoopla.
Buyer demand is currently running 80 per cent higher than normal and outstripping supply by 13 per cent.
This increased demand is also causing house prices to climb across the country.
If you want to potentially nab a bargain and get a house as quickly as possible, it’s worth taking a look at the houses that have reduced their prices recently- as it’s likely that they are looking for a quick sale.
Here are five Blackburn homes that have recently reduced their asking price:
Stone Hill Drive
£58,000
If you are on the market for an affordable home, look no further than this Stone Hill Drive home which is on the market for an impressive £58,000.
However, the house price hasn’t always been this affordable.
It was first listed for sale in October in 2020 and the price has been reduced on three separate occasions.
In total, £37,000 has been slashed off the initial asking price.
The property itself has a lot to offer- especially to first time buyers and landlords.
It’s situated in a quiet cul de sac location and the lounge has a spiral staircase.
This property is being sold via online auction- to find out more visit the Zoopla listing.
Rothesay Road, Guide
£130,000
This three bedroom property was first listed for £160,000 but £30,000 was knocked off the initial asking price.
The house is described as “stunning” and spacious, with three double bedrooms.
The family bathroom is modern and fitted with up-to-date amenities.
A focal point of the property has the be the rear garden which is described as “well maintained” complete with a patio area.
Revidge Road
£185,000
Have you ever dreamed of owning your own cottage?
This one on Revidge Road has a rustic aesthetic, with exposed beams and a country style kitchen.
The interiors are neutrally decorated and the property also benefits from a mature and vibrant garden.
However, this property used to be a lot more expensive.
It was listed for sale in February in 2020 for £199,950 and it has since been reduced on two occasions by a total of £34,950.
St Martins Drive, Feniscowles
£295,000
This is described as a “notable” detached property and a hidden gem of a home.
It has four bedrooms in total as well as two bathrooms.
It’s also suited to a contemporary buyer as it is fitted with high-end fixtures and fittings as well as modern technology.
Best of all, the enclosed garden has its own hot tub.
It was only placed on the market in February but since then it has been reduced in price three times and a total of £55,000 has been knocked off the asking price.
Roman Road
£53,000 (pre-auction price)
At £53,000 this property is an absolute steal- but it wasn’t always this affordable.
It was first listed for sale in July 2020 for £85,000.
Since then, its price has been reduced on six occasions and a total of £32,000 has been knocked off the asking price.
The mid-terraced home has two bedrooms, one bathroom and is located close to local amenities.
However, be prepared to invest some saving into redecoration as it is in need of a full modernisation.
The sellers have decided to take the property to auction- can you get anyway near the asking price?
