Matt Elliott feels “trapped” in his one-bedroom flat that he has been unable to sell since February, as he looks to move to a bigger property to start a family.

The 37-year-old from Bournemouth bought the flat in 2022 for £113,000 with a deposit of £20,000, and initially put the proeprty up for sale in February for £120,000.

Matt says since then he has only had three viewings and no offers. Now, the flat has stopped feeling like a home and more of a liability.

“I feel trapped. My partner and I want to start a family, and a one-bedroom flat isn’t feasible for that.”
