I'm struggling to sell

Finding the reason a sale has stalled

A British terraced house similar to homes reviewed by Home:Solved

Case study 1

Victorian terrace · Bristol

The situationAfter four months on the market, viewings had slowed and the owners were being pushed towards another price reduction.
The adviceThe review found that dark photography and an unclear third-bedroom layout were weakening the listing. A lighter shoot, a simple floor-plan annotation and more focused description gave buyers a clearer picture.
The outcomeViewings restarted within a fortnight and the owners accepted an offer without making the full reduction they had feared.

Case study 2

1930s semi · Nottingham

The situationPlenty of people viewed the house, but feedback was vague and no one made an offer.
The adviceWe compared nearby listings and identified two fixable concerns: an overcrowded dining room and uncertainty around repair costs. The owners simplified the rooms and prepared a clear maintenance summary.
The outcomeThe next round of viewings produced two serious second visits and an agreed sale to a buyer who understood the property.

Case study 3

Edwardian maisonette · London

The situationThe owner had a limited preparation budget and a long list of possible improvements before launch.
The adviceWe prioritised the entrance, lighting and main bedroom, advised against replacing the sound kitchen, and shaped a launch brief around the maisonette’s period character and garden.
The outcomeThe property launched on schedule, attracted strong first-week interest and sold to a buyer who valued the features the plan had highlighted.

Case study 4

Stone cottage · Yorkshire

The situationA family wanted to sell a much-loved cottage without stripping away the character that made it special.
The adviceThe preparation plan focused on small repairs, visual calm and photography that showed both the original details and practical family spaces.
The outcomeThe campaign reached the right audience from the start and the family moved forward without an expensive, unnecessary renovation.

Case study 5

First-time buyers · Manchester

The situationThe buyers were switching between flats, terraces and several neighbourhoods, and every new listing changed their priorities.
The adviceWe separated essentials from preferences, compared likely running costs and agreed a focused viewing scorecard for two realistic areas.
The outcomeThey stopped chasing unsuitable homes and secured a terrace that met their key needs while staying comfortably within budget.

Case study 6

Family move · Surrey

The situationA family needed more space but were unsure how to balance schools, commuting, renovation work and long-term value.
The adviceWe mapped the trade-offs, tested three locations against their weekly routine and helped them judge potential rather than presentation alone.
The outcomeThey chose a well-located home with manageable improvements instead of overpaying for a finished property in the wrong area.
