Are you thinking of putting your London house on the market this year?

[21march]

If so, when do you plan to list it on Rightmove?

I trawl every property site every single day, but there's literally nothing suitable on the market. Everything needs either massive refurbishment (we don't have the time or the inclination) or is so massively overpriced that it just sits on Rightmove for months.

All the estate agents I've approached tell me they've had their busiest start to the year since 2007 but don't have any new listings for houses, just flats.

So if you ARE planning on selling this year, when do you hope to do so?

Did you notice my last post?

Of course I did Flouncing, but I'd never embarrass us by following it up!
It's not Downton, but it will be for someone out there!
Note I said adjoining Upper Norwood, and note I said SW16 is at the end of the road. And this is not the 'cachet' road. There are 4 'cachet' roads and I'm six houses and £110K from the first of them!
Happy to PM you the estate agent's name if you want to have a nosey and see if you can guess!

Anyhoo, why would anyone want to leave the charms of Victorian for 1930s built?!? I'll swap you!

Not offended at all Springlamb, you make a very good point about ostensibly similar houses being hard to compare.

However, we've made a point of viewing everything even remotely suitable and keeping the details. Using the floorplans, it's quite easy to predict what even things we don't want will go for. Also, Zoopla and Rightmove now allow you to look at historical listings for a property alongside the price at which they eventually sold. Gotta love the internet!

But then there's the odd house which sells for a record price for no apparent reason whilst better houses in nicer streets at lower prices don't move at all. That's what I find bizarre.

Hope you find what you're looking for, too - are you moving out of London or to somewhere bigger or better?

Wingdingdong - September! I'm depressed already.

Thanks to all others that posted. I completely take on board the vicious cycle nature of undersupply. Guess I need to chill my boots and see what happens later in the year .
