Why Won't My House Sell?

Are you struggling to sell your house? It can be frustrating when you have a property on the market that won't sell. There could be a number of reasons why your home isn't selling, but the good news is that there are solutions available to you.

One potential issue could be that there is something physically wrong with the house. Maybe there is a leaky roof, outdated appliances or some other issue that is putting buyers off. If this is the case, you might be wondering whether it's worth fixing the problem before trying to sell the property. The answer to this question depends on the cost of the repairs. If the cost is too great, you might be better off selling the house as it is. In this case, the best option for you could be to put the property up for auction.

Auctions are a great way to sell a property quickly and securely. When we drop the gavel, the exchange of contracts takes place, and a completion date is set, typically within 28 days. This means that the buyer is committed to purchasing the property, and you are committed to selling it. You can be confident that the deal will go through, which provides you with a level of security that can be hard to find in other sales methods.

To attract buyers to your property at auction, you need to set a realistic price. You may have been wowed by the countless estate agents who have told you what your house is worth, but it's important to be realistic about the value of your property. Estate agents sometimes inflate valuations to try and win your business, but this can lead to disappointment when the house fails to sell. If the price is right, the property should sell, so it's important to get it right from the start.

If there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with your property, but you're struggling to sell it, then the issue probably boils down to price. Take a step back and be realistic about what your property is worth. Once you have an accurate valuation, you can set a fair price that will attract buyers.

If you're struggling to sell your property, there could be a number of reasons why. If there is something wrong with the house, consider whether it's worth fixing or whether it's better to sell it at auction. If the problem is simply price, be realistic and set a fair price that will attract buyers. With the right approach, you'll soon have a sold sign outside your house.
