πŸ“ˆ When UK Homes Sell
Almost Half of All Homes Sell in the First Month…

Think the longer a property sits on the market, the more likely it is to sell?

The data tells a very different story.

🏑 41.8% of homes that eventually sell find their buyer in the first month.

By month two, that figure drops to 19.9%, followed by 11.7% in month three.

After that, the odds reduce significantly.

The lesson?

The first few weeks aren’t just important. They’re everything.

That’s why getting the Price, Presentation and Promotion right from day one matters so much.

Launch too high, use average photography, or fail to create excitement, and you risk missing the period when buyers are paying the most attention.

The good news? Buyers are still buying.

The challenge is that they’re spoilt for choice.

In a market with more competition than we’ve seen for several years, the homes attracting viewings and offers are the ones that make the strongest first impression.

Thinking of moving in Market Harborough or South Leicestershire? I’d be happy to help you plan a launch strategy to maximise your chances of success.

Help me find… a forever home on in South Leicestershire 🏑✨

I’m currently working with a lovely buyer who is searching for something quite special for their family of five. A home that feels a little more tucked away, in South Leicestershire, with a semi-rural setting.

They are ideally looking for single-storey living or a home with, or scope for, accessible ground floor bathrooms and bedrooms, (for two wheelchair users within their family).

The home itself should offer 5+ bedrooms and be detached, a property with scope to create ground floor bedrooms/bathrooms would absolutely be considered if the setting and space are right. With the priority focusing on the house, layout and accommodation, they are flexible on the location within South Leicestershire.

Their budget is up to Β£1,500,000.

If you’ve been pondering a move this year, or know someone who may be, I would love to have a discreet conversation. There may be an opportunity here to create a smooth, off-market sale with a genuinely motivated and, chain free, cash buyer.

Please feel free to message me directly or to pass on my details.

Looking forward to hearing from you…

Best wishes,
Charlie ✨️
