House Selling... any help please!

Hey Mumsnetters!

I'm wondering if I could get some advice on selling our house. I'll keep it succinct...

Our house went on sale back in April. 15 viewings, one offer, accepted in just under 3 weeks. Chain broke after 4 weeks due to their buyers no longer buying. Went on at £575,000. Full asking price offered.

House back on the market and a few views but no more interest. We then after 8 weeks changed agents and dropped the price to £550,000.

Offer 2, full asking price at £550k. This then dropped out after she lost her buyer (still wants to buy ours but can't get a buyer).

Offer 3, then offered £548,000. This then dropped out after 2 weeks because they didn't like the parking. Only people without a chain and cash buyers. Didn't even propose a dropped offer.

It's now been 4 weeks and we've had loads of viewings but people going for other houses... ours is always the last contender with another option. We've also got 3 people interested but can't proceed right now.

Should we drop our price again to £535,000? Our EA's suggesting not... but I'm so fed up!
The house across the road went on for £550k, on Friday, offered and sold by the Monday.

Help Mumsnet... and please be kind! Sad

If you post the link to yours and the one that recently went under offer, we can tell you if there is an obvious difference between the two.

Good luck!

I think there's a big difference in that the layout is better and it's more modern?! It's very cool and contemporary.

EA now saying drop the price?!

Ours is on the market. The agent just keeps telling us the market’s dead. We’re not even getting viewings.

@Alsohuman where are you based out of interest?

@BlueLadybird as in the house across the road was very cool and contemporary.

We’re in Cambridgeshire. Most houses in our price bracket (same as yours) go to commuters - we’re ten minutes from the station, then 45 minutes into Kings Cross.

We’re on the market also, estate agent regularly says how things aren’t moving.
We’ve got a couple of people wanting to buy but they’ve yet to sell. We’ve got our eye on one particular house, I just hope it holds out for us.

Same as us @Yoohoo16

Desperate to sell and move home! Sad
