Advice on selling

Unfortunately, that logic doesn't really work. (It sounds like you may have been taken-in by the hype of 'quick sale' companies and auctioneers.)
Those investors will be looking at Rightmove as well.- So those same investors are seeing your property on RM at £35k, and they're not interested
- So they will be equally disinterested in paying you £29k + £6k to the auction company
- And equally disinterested in paying you £27k + £8k to the 'quick buy/sale' company
But some EAs are better than others, and appointing a new EA (maybe with a price reduction) will cause a bit of new marketing activity.
Thanks, your points are exactly what I've been thinking but didn't quite word it right above. I posted to get advice on whether to go down this route due to lack of interest and mentioned my fear of being 'taken in'. I do think I am quite savvy but at the moment am heavily pregnant and I have a toddler so my head is a bit battered!
The reason we chose this EA was that the fees were low and it's no sale, no fee. We are not tied in either. The EA we went with in 2016 was a much higher fee with a 3 month tie in and I see no difference between the two in terms of interest, communication etc. I also don't want to change EA as the property is now empty and so the pics will not be as good as they are now. Sorry, I know you are trying to help and I'm not being awkward, I just don't really see how changing EA could help
I think my questions have been answered in your list and I'll keep away from these companies and auction (IamSold is the firm) and just reduce price again soon if still no interest0 -

Yes I did a search on here, it was the only place I found info and it wasn't great.
I've rang them and told them we are not interested. Thanks0
