    No viewers booked for this weekend. Hopefully Feb will encourage some new buyers.

    Why so? I am buying but am not on the market (no need to sell first).
    I have just been ruled out by you, I guess.

    I did of course let people view who didn't need to sell. I was just referring to those who would need to sell in order to buy.

    From a buyer's perspective, don't bother making your home immaculate, it makes very little difference

    Can I please have your opinion on our house listing? I can't post a link as I am new but here is the ID on Rightmove 74081305.

    We've have loads of viewings (20+) but no offers. We did get an offer but buyer pulled shortly after. it's been on the market for 2 weeks.

    Is there anything I need to change with this listing? Any comment and suggestion would be very appreciated!

    Thanks in advance.

    This one?:

    Nothing immediately obvious wrong in the listing, although I'm puzzled as to why your agent thought taking a photo of the bedroom without opening the curtains was sensible! (Photo 6)

    Has the market really moved nearly 20% over the last 2 years?

    Plenty of viewings without any offers generally means price is a little optimistic.
  • Personally I'd say you don't have enough pictures...its a large property but only 8 pics,nothing substantial that I can really see kitchen wise and what I assume to be a picture of a second bathroom/ensuite but nothing of the main bathroom...

    Theres 3 bedrooms...but again I cant see them in detail....

    For the price you need to make the viewer on RM want to come and see the property....not imagine what it could look like.

    Although there doesn't appear to have been a problem with getting viewings, there's been over 20.

    The problem is offers, or lack of, which tends to suggest a price issue, not a lack of pictures issue.
  • Hi the reason for the price is because we did the kitchen extension and loft conversion and refurbished the whole house.
    I agree with the 3rd bedroom photo.
    Do we really need to add more photos?

    The other issue we have is there are 4 houses on the street/area we are in but all of those need work - time & money (plus stress!).
