The ECHO has taken a look inside a Merseyside home which has been on the market for a number of years.
Although mortgage rates rocketed to never before seen levels in the autumn of 2022, the price of property is steadily falling in the new year.
Despite this, there are people in the region who put their house on the market long before the turmoil who are still trying to secure a buyer.

One such property is located on King Street in the centre of Southport. Boasting six bedrooms and two bathrooms, the owner is seeking a relatively modest £235,000 for the terrace.
If the town centre location wasn't enough, the home is less than half a mile from Southport Train Station, is a stone's throw from the stunning Princes Park and marine lake and also has its own driveway.
The frontage is grand, with a large bay window and ornate masonry. Accommodation is spread across three floors.
On the ground floor there's an entrance hall leading to an open plan lounge and dining area. There's also a separate reception room, as well as the kitchen and a utility room.
On the first floor there is a WC and a shower room, as well as three bedrooms. There's also a study, which was originally used as a seventh bedroom.
The remaining bedrooms and another toilet are located on the top floor.
The house is being marketed by estate agents Purplebricks and was reduced in April 2020, almost three years ago.
The listing said the house is "currently used as a residential property but would make an ideal investment opportunity for flats/bedsits or a guest house".
