Selling a property that needs TLC? A recent survey shows that over half of buyers are completely avoiding major renovation projects right now, driven by high building and labor costs.

​The takeaway for sellers is simple: fixer-uppers still sell, but only if the asking price realistically reflects the cost of the work needed. Pricing for the "finished" version of the house will see interest dry up fast.

Three out of five homes listed this year are still sitting on the market without a buyer. With higher mortgage rates thinning out the crowd, the days of just throwing a listing up on the portals and waiting for offers are pretty much over. Traditional corporate agencies, with their massive volume, just aren't built to give properties the individual attention they need right now.

​That is exactly why working with a personal agent makes a difference. Because we look after a small, exclusive group of clients, we actually have the time to look at the local data, tweak the strategy, and personally hunt down the right buyer for your specific home. In a tough market, you don't need a factory process; you need someone focused entirely on your move.

You know the worst part of how most people experience estate agency. The handovers. You build a rapport with one person at the valuation, then you are passed to someone in sales, then someone in progression, then a name you have never heard chasing your solicitor. By the end nobody owns your move and everybody blames each other when it stalls. Personal Estate Agency is built to be the opposite. One agent, from the first conversation to the final set of keys. The same person who valued your home is the one negotiating your offer and the one calling you with news, good or bad. When one person is accountable for the whole move, things do not fall through the cracks, because there is nobody to pass the blame to. That is not a luxury. That is how it should always have been done.

Zoopla reports that nearly 50% of UK listings never reach completion. In a challenging market, getting a home from "for sale" to "sold" requires more than just a portal upload.

​The personal agency model is designed to beat these odds. By managing fewer properties, I can offer the dedicated time and bespoke marketing needed to ensure your home doesn't become a statistic. It is about quality of service over quantity of listings.

​If you are looking for a more hands-on approach to your move, get in touch.

The stat you need to know if you're selling this month: stock levels are the highest they've been at this time of year for more than ten years.

That isn't a problem if your home is priced and presented properly. It's a serious problem if it isn't.

Buyers right now have choice. They're scrolling Rightmove with patience, not panic. They're comparing your home to four others on the same road, not desperately bidding on the only thing available.

Which means the days of "let's try a higher price and see what happens" are over. In this market, an overpriced home doesn't get offers. It gets ignored. And a home that sits gets stale fast. After 30 days, average sale prices drop to around 99% of asking. After 60, 98%. After 90, just 95%.

Pricing isn't about being cheap. It's about being honest. Buyers know what your road is worth. They've been watching it for months. The agent who tells you what you want to hear at the valuation isn't doing you a favour. They're costing you money.

If you'd like a real conversation about what your home in is actually worth in today's market, get in touch.
