to want to just sell

[Ladidahmumma]

DF passed away leaving all possessions and house to myself and siblings.
House has been on the market for over a year now with some interest but no offers.
I feel like the estate agent overpriced it initially to tie us in, we have reduced it twice and changed agents, the stress of it all along with my dfs passing has led us to fall out big time, as this drags on another winter looms I just want the house gone, estate agent thinks we should reduce again to attract a different market and I agree but my siblings are horrified, and think it’s insulting to my dad won’t budge on the price and then it starts another row hence the fall out AIBU thinking it’s not an insult to my dad ? even if we did sell at the price I’m happy with its 3 times what he paid for it, I just can’t seem to reason with them and it’s like they’d rather it sit there for another year than budge on the price

As encouragement to your siblings - I knew of a house that had just been reduced. There were more than 5 viewings that week and multiple offers!
If you stay with the estate agent it might be worth refreshing some pictures - looking at them yourself, is there anything you’d want portrayed differently or a seasonal shot so it looks fresher?
the other thing you could do is switch agents again and launch fresh - are you happy with your agents efforts? Though it sounds like you’ve done this already.

Finally - is there anything that needs to come through better on the advert - eg access to parking / size of outdoor space etc

Maybe have a couple of chats with agents about how lively the market is right now. Sept usually is but we’re coming up to the budget etc.

I think if it reduce it to the right price range it probably will sell for something around what it is worth - personally I actually keep an eye on a few properties above my price range that haven’t budged and where I’ve been told the owners aren’t open to lower offers. And a reduction takes it back into peoples inbox alerts.

Ps - I’m really sorry for your loss. I can understand why you want to get this moving

That sounds difficult. We had a house like this and eventually did reduce and it sold quickly.

The thing is, no one is buying at the price it is on for.

Surely it's more insulting to your dad to have his house sitting there unloved and empty. Would it not be a better legacy for it to be lived in and enjoyed and new memories made, thanks to him.

Also the longer it sits there (without heating etc?) the more unloved it is going to feel and the more tricky to sell. (Or the more likely someone is to come in with a lower offer anyway).
