    Been on since November 2012, had 2 viewings and 1 cheeky offer (kicked back at them).

    Not expecting a lot of viewings as we didn't pick a great time of year to go on the market really, but hoping things pick up in spring.

    Of course we do, no need to split hairs.;)

    Good luck for a speedy and safe passage through to exchange.
  • This thread is an eye-opener for me....

    My flat has been on the market since 02/11/2012. Not one viewing, despite it being one of the cheapest properties in the town priced for a relatively quick sale...

    Every time i call estate agent, i'm told "the market is slow and nobody is buying just now"

    However - in Right Move, i have been watching similar properties and many of them are no longer listed.

    Were the similiar properties sold or withdrawn from the market? Three months and no viewings would be an indication that it is an idea to get out your contract and see what notice period you are tied into so you can change EA's.
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.
