House not selling....help?

If you're getting viewings the listing can't be too bad
If you've had an offer the price can't be too far off.

I wouldn't reduce at this time of year, I'd probably take it off the market and relist in January. Unless you are desperate to find a buyer ASAP

It's a lovely house I think, and very well presented.



I agree- consider taking it off for a bit and go again in late Jan or early Feb with updated pics.

For the wider area the price seems OK but a bit top end, but that would normally get offers.

For that estate the history suggests this is pushing the ceiling price and more recently houses have been getting less.

On the floorplan, the upstairs bathroom is labelled as a shower room, and the diagram reflects the same. Obviously from the pictures it is a bathroom, but I wonder if some people may dismiss it on this basis from the floorplan alone if a bath is an important feature for them?


I'd be asking the agents to correct the floorplan and label accordingly.

We went sale agreed for asking price in July after being on the market for 6 days - had to put back on the market in October as the buyers couldn't get a mortgage. While we have had steady viewings, no serious offers at the moment. I'm tempted to take it down and put up in the new year. We are sale agreed on a property but they have a boundary/title issue to resolve that looks set to take a while.

If you see similar properties going for in and around your asking price I'd say it is just a timing issue.

This. Time of year but also the political situation. We're in a similar position with steady viewings and pretty positive feedback, but I think there's a nervousness in the air and nothing really seems to be moving. If chains can't form, no one moves.

With the real potential Brexit upheaval, it went deathly quiet for a couple of weeks, but we'll have had 7 viewings in the last 10 days. I'm nervous to drop the price as I wonder if it will have any genuine effect and we're not buying on to take advantage.

Well spotted; my initial impression was to mark the property down as no bath.

Lounge/conservatory need to be properly presented as such, clutter removed, photos retaken without arty effects and preferably without the horsebox in the back garden.

The driveway is owned by all the residents equally and the management charge is in case repairs are ever necessary, although it is currently in good repair.

By "driveway" do you mean the entire road all the way to where the Google car stopped? Because that seems to be quite a lot of private road to look after. Or does the prison look after the "main" road?

The planning portal has one application for no16 that shows the road all the way to the main road as part of their plot.
