Emily Cuthbert-Edkins:When Your Home Isn't Selling: What To Do Next 🏡💡

In this blog, we address a common concern among homeowners: what steps to take when your property is lingering on the market. Our aim is to provide you with insightful and actionable advice to facilitate a successful sale.


Enhance Property Presentation 🌿 
The presentation of your property significantly influences buyer perception.
Consider investing in minor renovations or cosmetic enhancements, such as a fresh coat of paint or garden maintenance.
These improvements, while seemingly small, can substantially elevate the appeal of your property. 

Professional Photography 📸 
Given the prominence of online property listings, high-quality photography is essential.
Professional photographs can dramatically showcase your property, highlighting its best features and increasing its visibility in a competitive online environment. 

Refine Your Marketing Approach 📢 
An effective marketing strategy is key to reaching potential buyers.
It may be necessary to revise your current approach, focusing on different aspects of your property or targeting a more suitable audience.
A well-crafted marketing plan is crucial for attracting the right buyers. 

Utilise Viewer Feedback 🗣️ 
Feedback from property viewings can be a valuable resource.
It offers direct insights into potential drawbacks or areas for improvement that you may not have previously considered.
Addressing these (if any) issues can significantly enhance the attractiveness of your property. 

Assess Your Pricing Strategy 💷 
One of the most critical factors in selling a property is its price.
If your home has been on the market for an extended period, it may be prudent to re-evaluate your pricing strategy.  
This involves a thorough market analysis or seeking a professional valuation to align your price with current market conditions. 
BUT, only re-evaluate the price after evaluating everything else beforehand.

In summary, a strategic and measured response can often promote a result if your property is not selling as anticipated.  

We encourage homeowners to consider these steps carefully and seek professional advice tailored to their specific situation. 🏡✨  

We hope this guide has been informative and reassuring. 

Remember, with the right approach, every property can find its ideal buyer.

When homeowners choose an agent, trust and confidence matter more than anything else. In this article we show why how your home is marketed in January 2026 can be the difference between standing out or blending into the crowd.

Most landlords don’t review their property until something goes wrong. But the strongest portfolios are built through regular check-ins, not reactive fixes. December is the perfect time to step back, assess performance and make small changes now that protect returns, reduce stress and set the year ahead up properly.
