Something fresh to the market - might stimulate interest....?

If you are shopping for clothes, would you go to the store that has the same clothes as it did 9 months ago (and that you have looked through HUNDREDS of times?) or would you go to the store that has just had a new batch of clothes in?

Estate agents are just like any other "shop": they want new stock regularly, BUT it has to be the type of stock that they are good at selling....

But almost nobody is interested in shopping for clothes (houses) at present, as the clothes (houses) are still far too expensive.

All of the clothes shops (estate agents) are full of way overpriced merchandise at present. So in answer to your question, if one overpriced shop got a new load of stock in, I wouldn't be any more inclined to visit it than the other overpriced shops with their 'old' stock that's been hanging around for ages.

Actually uou are wrong, at the moment, reasonably priced houses ARE selling... so if a new property comes onto the market AND is reasonbly priced, then there WILL be interest...

Houses are like clothes: even in recession people still need houses/clothes, YES less houses/clothes sell and it is the ones that are competitively priced that sell more easily (i.e. "George by Asda", rather than Prada...).

One possibility - you could ask the developer of the new build property you want to buy if they do exchange deals.

The developer would offer you less than the current market value for your current property (maybe 10 or 15% less), would that give you enough to buy a property you want in their development??

I doubt it will work with absolutely no equity or savings but you can try.

I don't think that it works without any equity or savings (as you say) - even trying anything like this would just compound the OP's debt

I think that the OP is stuck until she tries to resolve some of her current debt
