Selling home, no viewings

People might overlook 2k, maybe, but they won`t view if it`s 20k too high.0

Don’t stress about the agent. I have sold 3 times hassle free through PB with no issues and lots of viewings and also had untold nightmares with umpteen “good local EA”. The issue is by the looks of it, you’re overpriced for the area. But I would certainly give it a bit of time before doing anything - people are only just over Christmas lol
Good luck!£2 Savers Club 2020 no. 90 -
I would sell the beach side lifestyle. Re take the pictures and add a sunset picture, a picture of the beach. Do a cute beach cottage garden in front and take a picture of that. It would be perfect with the blue picket fence.
I would also go down to the allotment and talk to people there. Make yourself known and see if you can get bumped up the list.
Easier to just drop the price, pictures of sunsets etc. while overpriced will just annoy people and they will look at something else.0 -

When I was looking to buy in 2016-17, PurpleBricks were awful in scheduling any viewings.I'm selling with purple bricks
We couldn't get viewings in couple of places we really likes from photos just because of PurpleBricks.
I am not saying this could be happening in your case, but PurpleBricks are not the best.
Good luck though...0 -
