Has anyone else given up trying to sell their house? Friggin Brexit

Hi,

Our house has been on the market since the beginning of last summer. Had around 25 viewings, so not a great deal in that time.

It's been reduced and we're really at our absolute bottom figure now. We've had three offers. One fell through, the others we couldn't accept.

Feedback generally has been very positive and we've had a lot of almost offers, but a few recently have said they're too nervous about buying in the current climate and current instability of our government.

Our agent has said there's nothing wrong with our house. Good price, good area etc, but everyone is struggling right now with brexit. They must still be selling houses though!

We do really want to move and don't want to take it off the market, but I would imagine that the amount of time it's been on is actually quite off putting too.

Thoughts please. It's really getting us down.

Thanks

Still nothing. Oh well. At least it makes our decision easier about who we re market with.

Call them first thing OP and be firm that you want the house taken off their books with immediate effect. They'll dither as long as possible if you don't, as it's not in their interest to do as you're asking. No doubt they'll try and persuade you not to, so be prepared for that.

Thanks june. I'm going to email them rather than call. I don't want to speak to them, because as you say, they'll try and change my mind and I can't be bothered with that tbh.

Was even looking into part exchanging, but not ideal obviously.
