It's been on the market since early January. About 7 viewings so far, turned down an offer about two weeks in, and no viewings this month at all. Right Move report shows that the number of hits is still consistent with previous weeks. It's an immaculate detached new build in a gated development with extensive gardens, three storey, 4 bed, 3 ensuite bathrooms, garage. The photographer did a fantastic job and it was presented like a show home.

It's pricey, but we are in the suburbs of west London and it's actually £50k below what Zoopla say it is worth. We have asked the agent to recontact the person who made the offer a few months back, but they didn't engage. My husband is already overseas, I'm joining him in August and we really want to sell the house before then. We have a relatively small mortgage, about 30% LTV.

Other than reduce the price, what else can we do? There are 10 detached houses with 4+ bedrooms within a mile and ours is the second cheapest. Thank you!

I agree that it is looking a bit bare now. I know you are supposed to declutter but you still want to make it look like somebody's home. I think the outdoor space lets it down because it's very small but there's not much you can do about that.

I think that people are just being cautious because they expect a drop in house prices in the near future and don't want to be paying for a house that might go down in price. Nearly £1m seems an awful lot of money. Has it gone up in price a lot over the last five or so years.
