Houses over a million - stagnant market

[Needadognow]

I live in Surrey and have been looking at houses between 1-3 million for the past year or so. These houses just don't seem to sell quickly at all.

How long should you realistically give yourself if you had a house worth £1.5m in a rural(ish) area? (Surrey)

OP - it is not worth the stress that it is causing you - huge mortgage? - interest rates will go up - market may well stall -- if you cant ride another boom/bust cycle then put in on the market and get rid asap.

IMHO - dont do kitchen - read somewhere that this is v personal taste and buyer would pref 10k off price to do their own thing....but would tidy the garden....If you are 60 - and it is a family house make sure it is presented as modern family living - ie playroom/TV room off kitchen on to garden - kitchen diner etc.

I would take the stress out of your life and start living now - not in some random year in 3 years time when you may be £50k better off or £200k worse off.....life is for living....life is short...make it sweet.
