Last week on The Investor’s Corner, we discussed how rising costs, tighter rules, and the Renters' Rights Act 2024 are reshaping UK landlords, property management, and investor opportunities.

When most homeowners decide to put their Ruislip home on the market, they assume one thing.

Are you searching 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.

You might be Googling things like: • “What should my estate agent be doing to sell my house?” • “House on Rightmove but no viewings” • “How do I change estate agents if I’m not happy?” And here’s what I’d say to your agent, the things I know sellers are thinking but don’t always say out loud.
