Only 2 viewings in 2 months

[Justpassingtime1]

We are supposed to have a property that people moving out of London
wants so only 2 viewings is disappointing
Stamp duty thing not making any difference

Our property has been on for 2 months and only 1 viewing 😔

Ours is at the lower end price wise and supposedly attractive to 1st time buyers... 🤷🏼‍♀️

My sister is a first time buyer currently looking. The amount the banks want from them for a deposit is obscene. Also, I know friends who are first time buyers who are waiting to see if house prices drop next year. It kust be so frustrating for you. I'm sorry.

I wouldn't mind if prices dropped cos that would be across the board. We have found that 1st time buyers have been unable to get the finance to purchase...

Post a link and people can tell you if they think there’s an obvious problem?

It may be price.

Is it in a decent school catchment area? Are other properties in the area selling?

We're FTB and have had to pause our house search because we just can't afford the deposit that banks want from us. The silly thing is we have 10% saved and ready to go, and we are both teachers so we are completely recession-proof with year on year pay increases. Hopefully banks lower their LTV rate soon!

FTB`ers have maybe finally woken up?

I read that the stamp duty thing is helping those already on the housing ladder to move up rather than first time buyers who are waiting and watching the market, mostly unable to get a mortgage right now.
