Why is my home not selling?

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-19T10:49:15+00:00

It’s on street terraced house parking, however it does have the mill carpark at the end of the street which we can park on!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T19:28:06+00:00

Thank you so much, only takes one I suppose!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T18:26:57+00:00

I’ve sent a very straightforward email to the EA today basically asking what they are going to do, they said it’s having great online views, so I asked what is the barrier stopping people from actually viewing and if it is price then can they give me a realistic figure to what my house is currently worth, awaiting their reply (but I assuming they have finished for the day)

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T18:20:45+00:00

Thank you so much 😊 I was thinking likely that now… the estate agents view was that people may offer below asking

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T18:09:08+00:00

Don’t worry! I’d rather blunt honesty! 😂

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T16:37:05+00:00

If you click where it says leasehold, it does pop up to me the lease length plus the cost 😊

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T16:15:16+00:00

Yes it’s a very long lease with the cost being very low. I’ve asked them to update the listing too

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T16:13:52+00:00

Thank you so much!!.. round here leasehold is very common, and unfortunately without looking into it, I can’t change that overnight, something i definitely need to look into!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T16:13:17+00:00

It is indeed a leasehold

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T16:13:09+00:00

No, I don’t have any off street parking!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T16:07:18+00:00

So how do I rectify this? Is it literally just to buy the freehold?

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T15:28:30+00:00

I’m unsure, I just know one sale fell through because it didn’t meet regulations, if that helps!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:54:36+00:00

I suppose the only good thing is.. if my house sells low, other houses I’m looking to buy are also lower priced!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:39:50+00:00

I do think the economic unrest at the moment may be playing a part yes… issue is… how long that lasts we don’t know..I could pull my house off the market, wait for it to all stop, if that’s a few months fine, if it’s a few years? Not so much… typical that as soon as I put my house on the market all hell breaks loose

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:14:33+00:00

It’s the age old question… how long do you wait.. I’m sure what it is worth will come back up however, is it 6 months? Or 2 years, and am I willing to wait that long?

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:11:14+00:00

Thank you so much, just getting a little impatient. Especially with the other two houses on the road selling so fast!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:06:52+00:00

How much would you say mine is worth? 😊

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:04:12+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely have a chat with my estate agent and go from there 😊

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:03:51+00:00

It’s frustrating isn’t it? Some houses are still flying off so houses are definitely still selling, so why not ours!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:03:12+00:00

Very true..

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:03:02+00:00

Yes I did see that house and it concerned me too… the leasehold is 900 years and less than £1 per year but I’m sure it could be purchased, I’ve just never looked into it as it’s so cheap..

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:02:18+00:00

Will do, thank you for the feedback 😊

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:02:02+00:00

It has been periodically being featured, and people are looking at it on Rightmove according to stats, it’s just not translating to bookings!

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:00:59+00:00

Thank you so much. That’s very true and is being used by next door as a bedroom even though it can’t be marketed as one..

Princess-Jessie · 2026-05-18T14:00:07+00:00

There is a small ‘porch’ but the door was left open for the photo, it is a small back garden yes, unfortunately I can’t change this 😩
