Sadly it comes down to supply and demand, demand for moving house (no one viewing a house is homeless remember) has dropped a lot since borrowing costs started to rise.Hb92 said:Sadly not. We've had 2 viewings so far and one said the kitchen wasn't big enough and the other said the kitchen needed too much work. I don't know if these are genuine comments or if they are just saying it to say something for feedback. I mean you can see from the pictures it's an older kitchen so i don't see why you would still view it.
We have 2 more booked in for tomorrow so i'll see what happens with those. Looking at similar houses on the market there are a tonne that have even been up longer than mine like up to a year so i wonder if it's just a problem at the moment in my area possibly

But one individual house by itself is an anecdote and says nothing about the general market.ReadySteadyPop said:

That is like saying it is raining, but only you got wet, all houses are exposed to market conditions so it is very unlikely that there is something wrong with just this particular house?RHemmings said:

Plumplot is not free; to get to any useful detail you have to pay. It also throws up security warnings on my chromebook.newsgroupmonkey_ said:

Never had a security warning, I am using DDG though, and never paid for anything, I am looking at basic stuff like sales volumes, they appear to be well down right across the country (It doesn`t cover Scotland)shinytop said:
