A question for anyone who has sold a home: after you signed with your agent, did the communication stay as good as it was while they were still trying to win you? Or did the calls slow down once the board went up? Curious how common the drop-off really is.
One agent valued your home noticeably higher than the rest. It is the number you want to hear. Worth asking though: is it a considered figure, or a way to win the instruction now and have the "let's reduce it" chat a month later? What makes you trust a valuation?
When a house near you sells for a strong price, it is tempting to assume yours is worth the same. Sometimes true, often not: the differences that move the price are the ones you stop noticing after years in a place. What would you want checked before trusting that comparison?
For anyone who has sold a home: were you ever encouraged to list at a higher price to win the deal, then asked to reduce it a few weeks later when the viewings went quiet? Curious how common this really is, and how long before the first 'let's review the price' chat.
Did your agent ever show you their average time-on-market for your postcode, or did you just get the headline valuation? One of those numbers tells you far more.
Getting viewings but no offers is its own kind of stuck. The instinct is to drop the price, but that is often the wrong first move. Usually the problem sits upstream of the number. What to check before you cut:

When your agent gave you a valuation, did they show you the sold prices behind it, or just a number a little higher than the agent down the road quoted? One of those is evidence.
UK mortgage approvals fell to 56,200 in May, the lowest since 2023. Fewer buyers are getting the green light to borrow. For sellers that means a thinner pool of approved buyers, and pricing to today's market matters more than it did six months ago.

Three agents valued the same house at £290k, £325k and £375k. None of them is lying. They are aiming at different versions of you. Which number would you trust?
