In this blog, I’ll break down what a JBSP is, why it can be a powerful tool for Reading buyers, and how it can support the local market—including some real-world Reading scenarios. If you’re searching for “how to buy my first home in Reading”, “Reading first-time buyer options”, or “help getting a mortgage in Reading”, this guide is for you.

Are you searching for these phrases? “My home isn’t selling, and I don’t know why.” “I feel stuck in a sole agency agreement.” “How do I get things moving again with my property sale?” If yes, it means you’re in what we call the “agent gap”, when your agent’s actions no longer match your goals...

It’s been a few weeks (maybe longer), and the buzz has faded. Viewings are few and far between. Updates are sparse. And your agent’s enthusiasm? Nowhere to be seen.

If you’re Googling any of these right now: “Why am I getting viewings but no offers?” “What does buyer feedback really mean?” “Is my house overpriced or just badly marketed?” You’re not alone, and you’re right to ask. Because when buyers are walking in, nodding politely… and then vanishing or worse giving 'naff' offers, something’s misaligned.

No new viewings. No clear updates. Just silence. You’re still on the market, but it’s starting to feel like you’re in limbo.
