When should enquiries start coming through?

just that really. If you list a house on the Monday, when should your estate agent start getting calls about viewings and how many should you have booked by the end of the first fortnight?

You should usually start getting enquiries and bookings that day or the next depending on the time of the day if you have priced it correctly.

If it is valued and priced sensibly, and the details are written to reflect the property, then straight away.

homes don’t sell when over priced (write people wrong price) or wrongly described (attract the wrong people to viewings and miss the people that should be calling)
don’t be afraid to hold you agents accountable for doing this properly. Most are lazy. You are paying them to “market” it. Most have no idea what this means.

Really depends on the house and the price.

There is a house near me been on ages, was listed for £70k not £65k not wildly expensive for a 2 bed terrace in general but its completely un-modernized to the point it still has an outside toilet (not an extra one, the only toilet the house has).

It has not had any interest by the looks of it. Home buyers don't want it (too much work for something a dime a dozen) and its priced far too high for a development company to make a profit on.

On the flip side theres a million+ farm house and stables near me that has been listed ages, no local can afford that type of price. Where I live once you get over 200k you hit limited marked and over 500k is nearly impossible to sell even if the property is lovely and worth it just due to lack of people who could afford that price bracket. So if its an expensive house it won't sell quick here.

On a standard normal live in house I would expect a booking or two with in the first week, the better the price the more bookings and something very well priced will likely attract lots of attention same day.
