Selling a messy cluttered house !

[Kay286]

Whilst I know this is not ideal we’re selling our house which has tenants in , we served section 21 in November but they said they would try to see if they could buy. They can’t and it got close to eviction date so we agreed to allow more time we’d give a bit longer and revisit. We confirmed again in feb we are looking to sell. Estate agent went round took photos and placed house in market but it’s so cluttered and messy (this after asking to tidy !)
my question is … the exact same house as ours is on for 50k xtra it’s immaculate … would you be able to see past clutter and offer on a 50k cheaper house ?

I would also nie view if there were tenents.

I feel for you OP, I'm in the same boat as yourself. Just finding out today my grandparents house has been completely destroyed by the tenant renting it and it goes without saying how pissed off I am as is my family too. The house has been devalued in price because of it. In the process of moving the tenant out and redoing the house up to go on the market. Anyway if it were me I'd see past the clutter but a lot of people won't so it's best to declutter, redecorate and hopefully makes a more profitable sale for you. Good luck 🤞🍀

And you will still have to obtain a PO before they have to leave, so your agents will have to be on the ball applying to the court.

Your agents aren't working in your best interests here OP. Double check the date of the original section 21, then tell the agents if it's still in date. Sort the 28 day process straight away.
