selling a house

[minnie76]

i am trying to sell my house in shrewsbury area and it has been on the market for nearly a year with no viewings! any suggestions on getting people in to view it? please

Reduce the price?
Change estate agent?

[CheekyChops]

If nobody has even viewed it in a whole year (almost) then it is probably overpriced. Have you looked to see what other similar houses are selling for in your area? Have you tried dropping the price?

[redcrx]

have you got an agent? have you asked them what would help get the property under the eye of suitable buyers?

[mrs.chappie]

I agree with CheekyChops.....the usual reason property doesn't attract any viewings is because it is over-priced.

Unfortunately estate agents are known to over-estimate the value of a property to get you on their books, then suggest you lower the asking price after a while.

Are the estate agents marketing it well? Are you happy with them, and also with the photographs of the property?

Give the details and I'll have a look on rightmove..........

If you haven't had any viewings at all I would say a sizeable price cut is called for. No good knocking £1k off. What reason does your agent give for no viewings? Is your house nicely presented in the photographs? Call in other agents to see what sale price they suggest.

[mrs.chappie]

For when you do get a viewing......here's a tip I was given. Remove about half the stuff from your cupboards/wardrobes, pack it away and put it in storage. When a viewer calls, fling open your cupboards/wardrobes and let them see how much spare space there is.

(Don't tell 'em it's in storage, of course). :o)

Take it off the market.....reduce the price by 10%....get a good agent to take lots of photos and a floor plan...de clutter if needed...leave for a few weeks and then re market.
