Given the current financial climate, homeowners are growing increasingly reluctant to list their house on the market amid inflated mortgage rates and the cost of living crisis.
With those on the lookout for a potential move being forced to sit tight until the property market settles down, you have to spare a thought for those who are trying to secure an honest price for their home.
Well, how about being forced to wait nearly four years for someone to meet the evaluation of your property? That's exactly what the owners of a four-bedroom bungalow in the suburb of Craigentinny have been doing.

According to Rightmove, the property, on Nantwich Drive, was reduced in April 2019, meaning it is coming up for four years on the market without being sold - making it Edinburgh's most 'un-sellable home'.
From the outside looking in, you would expect a property worthy of this title to be some sort of fixer-upper in a densely populated area, but this home has plenty or admirable features including four spacious bedrooms and a large rear garden.
The asking price for the property at the moment is sitting just below £400,000, with offers expected to exceed that figure. In terms of location, the area of Craigentinny is situated not too far from the city centre and just minutes from areas such as Meadowbank, which is benefitting from an increase in population and attraction.
Describing the property, Rightmove say: "The property is brought to the market in good condition and briefly, consists of an entrance hall with storage, an extensive rear facing lounge with electric fire and dining area featuring sliding doors to a large garden.
"The modern fully fitted kitchen has further space for dining and entertaining with a good range of appliances including a six gas burner hob, and two ovens, ideal for any aspiring chefs.
"There is additional access to the garden and a double bedroom with two windows and ample space for free standing furnishings. The two spacious double bedrooms located at the front of the property are bright with natural daylight and provide further space for free standing furniture, the fourth bedroom overlooks the side of the property and allows for flexible furnishing arrangements."
The home also benefits from ample storage opportunities, including a lighted attic and a shed to the rear of the property. Private parking is guaranteed with a nicely-bricked driveway and in a rare occurrence, all fixtures, appliances and white goods are included in the sale.
With an inflated property market hardly an excuse due to the time this home has been listed, you have to wonder just why no potential buyers have shown a firm interest.
