Are You Holding Off Selling… Or Holding Yourself Back?

Selling your home should be an exciting step forward.

But what if it’s feeling more like a massive wall to climb, or worse, something you keep meaning to do, but never quite start?
At avocado property, we talk to homeowners every day who feel stuck. They’ve thought about selling. They’ve registered with agents. They’ve maybe even seen a house they like. But their current place? Still not on the market.
Sound familiar?

There’s a Lot to Think About. No Wonder You Feel Stuck.

Let’s be honest, this isn’t just a decision about property. It’s about your life.

And when you start listing everything that goes into a move, it’s overwhelming:
• Preparing your home to appeal to buyers
• Sorting photos, floor plans, and getting it listed
• Dealing with the emotional side of letting go
• Looking for a new place
• Managing viewings, offers, and negotiations
• Moving finances, families, jobs, schools...
• Keeping up with daily life in between!

It’s no surprise that many people stall, not because they’re lazy or indecisive, but because they’re overwhelmed and protecting themselves from stress.

Are You Getting in Your Own Way?

It’s a human thing. We resist change, even when we know it’s the right one.
You might find yourself:
• Avoiding emails about the market
• Telling yourself it’s “not the right time”
• Holding off on making small improvements because “what’s the point?”
• Feeling guilty for wanting to leave
• Focusing on everything else instead of this
But holding back doesn’t mean you’re not ready. It means you need help making sense of it all.

That’s Why We Wrote the Book

Our book, Selling Your Family Home, exists to help you feel less overwhelmed, more in control, and better equipped to make decisions. It’s written by real agents who get what this process feels like, not just what it looks like on paper (although we get this is somewhat ironic!)

Inside, we walk you through:
• How to know you’re making the right decision
• What the selling process actually involves
• How to get your home prepped (without going overboard)
• What to expect emotionally, practically, and financially
It’s thoughtful. It’s straightforward. And it’s designed to make you feel calm, not panicked.

Many people like you get stuck in that “almost ready” stage. You want to move, you’ve registered with agents, you might even have seen some dream homes online… but your current property still isn’t on the market.

This guide from Avocado Property breaks down how these proposed changes could affect buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants in these two commuter hotspots. From leafy avenues to bustling high streets, both areas feature a broad property range, but with most homes well above the £500k threshold, these Budget proposals are particularly relevant here

As the Warfield property market shifts, more homeowners are facing the decision of when and by how much to adjust their asking prices.

What would you hate to regret later when moving, and how can you stop that from happening now?
