Sarah Beeny  of Property Ladder says:
I strongly believe there’s no such thing as a house that won’t sell. If it isn’t selling it’s too expensive. 

The danger in today’s market is that there is huge optimism in terms of value, so estate agents will come up with a figure they hope to get, and the vendor spends that in their head.

Look at what you can buy in your area for the price you’re asking. If you need to drop the price, take the house off the market for two weeks before launching it with a new agent at a price at least 10 per cent lower.

There are also cosmetic things you can do that may make a buyer pick your house over someone else’s.

Phil Spencer of Location Location Location, says:
Make sure you select the best agent for the type of property you have. Look in the window to see if houses like yours are advertised there. Then fix the right price, bearing in mind that the market calms down in the summer, so there’s no point being too ambitious.

First impressions are vital. Tidy up the front garden and the drive and paint the front door. Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses, so get cleaning and polishing. Buy things such as a new kettle, new bathroom lino, new door handles. Clear out clutter, turn the storage room into a bedroom, then ask a friend to come round and give their honest opinion.

If your house still doesn’t sell, ask your agents why they haven’t sold it and how you can help them do their job.
