Is a viewer a waste of time if they still have to sell their own house?

🏑 Feeling a bit stuck with your property on the market? πŸ€” Wondering if it's worth showing your home to buyers who aren't quite ready to purchase? Let's dive into this!

🌟 The thrill of putting your house up for sale is real. 
Each viewing brings a flutter of hope – could this be the one? 
You've done your bit, making your home sparkle and shine, ready for potential buyers to fall head over heels, just like you did.

But what happens when the excitement fades into frustration? 
You've prepped, polished, and waited eagerly for offers that don't come. 

The dream of moving on starts to feel distant, especially when those properties you eyed up are slipping away.


πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Should you start saying no to viewings from those not ready to buy immediately? 
It's a common question when patience wears thin. But here's the thing – it's not the best move. Why? Because every viewer, ready or not, is a potential future buyer.

🎯 Our goal in selling is to cast the net wide. 
Limiting viewings means limiting potential. 
Imagine a viewer, not quite ready to buy, falling utterly in love with your home. 
They might have hidden resources or be motivated to sell their property quickly. By refusing them a viewing, you'll never know.

πŸ” A savvy estate agent is key. 
They'll vet potential buyers, understanding their position and potential. No, not every viewing guarantees an offer, but no viewings guarantee no offers.

Remember, buyers don't always need to be ready with funds in hand.
If they're captivated by your property, they might find ways to make it work, like dropping their price for a quick sale. 

If viewings are getting you down, or you're considering a switch in agents, our team of property experts is here to help.

Rightmove’s December 2025 House Price Index gives us a clear picture of a market that slowed towards the end of the year β€” but one that is quietly setting itself up for a stronger start to 2026.

Buyer demand does not suddenly appear in spring. It starts right now. In this article we break down where serious buyers are in January 2026, why early demand creates stronger pricing and how sellers who move first gain a real negotiation edge before the market becomes crowded.

Winter catches landlords out more than any other season. Shorter days, colder temperatures and heavier use of your property put systems under pressure fast. Small issues can escalate overnight β€” and without the right checks in place, winter can quickly turn from β€œquiet” into costly.

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.
