My London property is not selling. What should I change?

A practical review of price, presentation and buyer feedback when a London home is attracting too little interest.

Mark’s view

Start by finding where interest stops: before an enquiry, after a viewing, or during negotiation. Each calls for a different response. Ask for evidence before changing the price or the agent.

The local seller read

Three decisions that shape the sale.

Positioning · Presentation · Negotiation
01Market position

Few enquiries

Check the listing is available, its details are correct and the opening image explains the home’s strongest feature. Compare the asking price with genuinely similar alternatives, rather than every home in the postcode.

02Campaign craft

Viewings, but no offers

Group the feedback by recurring objection: layout, condition, price or unanswered information. Ask what each viewer chose instead. One vague comment is less useful than a pattern across several qualified buyers.

03Commercial control

Offers that do not progress

Review the buyer’s position, the proposed timing and the questions still unresolved. Agree who owns each next step. A more expensive marketing campaign will not resolve an information gap on its own.

Before you instruct

Questions sellers ask.

01How long should I wait before reviewing my campaign?+

Agree a review point with your agent when you launch. Bring it forward if the actual enquiries and viewings differ materially from the plan. There is no universal number of weeks that proves a London home is overpriced.

02Should I change agents straight away?+

First ask for a written diagnosis and proposed changes. If you consider moving, check your existing agreement, notice requirements and any continuing fee obligations before instructing another agent.

03What should I bring to a campaign review?+

The listing link, launch date, price history, enquiry and viewing totals, written feedback and your intended moving timetable. These allow a specific discussion rather than a guess.
