While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

When I was on the other side of the fence, I used to find that people were generally unwilling to make their final decision until it got to a couple of weeks before their move date (i.e. they'd keep their options open, keep looking just in case). All this is London though, YMMV.
The advice I'd give that lots of websites order the listings by age, at a month old, some people might not see yours. So bump it up by renewing, changing something, etc. Also spread the word on facebook and ask friends to share with their friends.
I'm London too. I was basically looking for this reassurance. I am going to relist again to bump up the listing this weekend.0
