While some properties get snapped up within hours of hitting the market, others can take a little longer to become someone’s new home.
Properties which have been waiting for a buyer for some time could mean you are in a better position to haggle the price down, so there’s a chance you could grab a bargain.
And that's no different for Darlington, seeing one property on Zoopla first listed in April 2019 that has yet to find the right buyer.
Of course, one of the reasons a property might not be selling is because the vendor is asking too high a price and is unwilling to come down on it.
However, that's not the case for this property with the listing reduced five times since it first went on sale, seeing a total reduction of £70,000.
But if you were on the hunt for a new family home, then look no further as this property on Zoopla might just be for you.
Take a look inside Darlington's longest listing on Zoopla:
The six-bedroom period Victorian-style terraced property is in the heart of Darlington's West End, with spacious family accommodation and gas central heating.
The living room/lounge is a large and cosy area with space for good-sized family sofas and a big TV.
Plus, it has a stylish fireplace, and high ceilings along with a large bright window to allow for plenty of natural light to come into the home.
Next into the kitchen that keeps the traditional Victorian style, with its long length and plenty of storage space.
At the rear of the property, there is loads of counter space and modern applicances throughout.
The family-sized bathroom has plenty of space with bath a separate shower and bath.
There is also the opportunity to re-develop the space and make your own with the chance for more storage areas too.
In just one of six bedrooms in this impressive townhouse, there is space for a large bed and open windows for natural light.
Plus, in some rooms, there is extra space for an en-suite so you could have your own private bathroom.
