August isn’t a great time for selling as lots of people go on holidays.
Did you get any feedback on the viewings?

It’s unlikely your agent is relaxed as this is their livelihood.

I’d be asking for feedback on the viewings. If the house is not miles off on price then you would expect offers.

Your timing was very bad. Forget Brexit, as lisyloo points out, August is an awful month to market a house.
The first couple of weeks of marketing are crucial if you are to secular quick sale at a price you want.
The longer the property hangs around the less appealing it seems to online viewers. ‘There must be something wrong with it’ etc etc.
Add in price drops and you’ve really snookered yourself.

Now until Early November would have been a far better time to advertise. Kids are back to school, people have returned from their summer holidays and there’s still time before Christmas.

Still, we can’t turn back time so that leaves two options.
1. Plod on and hope for a sale, possibly dropping the price along the way.
2. Remove from the market for 2-3 weeks then realist before things slow down again for Xmas.

With option 2 you need to honour any agreed contract with your original estate agent. You can withdraw from sale but not re-list with someone else within your original agreed contract period. Re-listing with the same EA is fine.

If a house is over-priced nowadays it doesn`t matter when you advertise it for sale, interest will likely be close to zero.

Remind me again, when was the last time you bought or sold?

We don't know that it is over priced as the OP has not posted a link too it or mentioned a price.

It could just be that the right person has not viewed the property yet.
