Getting Bored? Selling Your Home Shouldn't Be a Waiting Game...

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.

Selling smart starts with a strategy, not just a listing.

I speak to homeowners all the time who’ve been let down by the traditional approach:
Their home goes live on Rightmove or Zoopla...
A few clicks. Maybe a low offer.
Then… nothing.

If your home’s currently on the market and you’re wondering why it’s not selling, you’re not alone.
And no, you’re not imagining things.

In today’s competitive market, simply listing your home online and hoping someone calls isn’t enough. But that’s still what most agents do:
A few photos
A generic description
Hit publish
But hope isn’t a strategy.
 

Why Your Home Isn’t Selling (And Why It’s Probably Not Your Fault)

When viewings dry up or offers never materialise, most agents blame the price, the market, or even the house itself. But in most cases, the problem is a lack of proper marketing.
That’s the key difference:
👉 Listing = uploading your home to a portal
👉 Marketing = launching your home with a strategic plan
This is exactly why I use my #BeatThePortals™ strategy.
It’s a full marketing system designed to go way beyond the portals, combining targeted social media ads, creative storytelling, professional visuals, and buyer psychology to generate genuine momentum.
 

What Real Property Marketing Looks Like (That Most Agents Skip):

1. It Gets the Price Right from Day One
Overpricing ruins your launch window.
Real marketing uses pricing strategy, not guesswork, to ensure your home attracts serious interest right from the start.

2. It Reaches the Right People, Not Just Anyone Scrolling
Your buyer has a lifestyle, a mindset, a goal and I build campaigns to speak directly to them. That means:
• Professional photography + video
• Tailored, emotional copy
• Paid social campaigns
• Email marketing
• Launch timing
Generic listings don’t create urgency. Targeted marketing does.

3. It Plans Ahead
Markets shift. Momentum stalls.
I don’t just launch and leave. With #BeatThePortals™, there’s always a plan B, C, and D. I monitor response data, make tactical changes, and keep your home front of mind for buyers.
 

Ask Yourself:

Did your current agent present a real strategy? Or just list your home and cross their fingers?
If that question hit a little too close to home, you’re not stuck you just need a new approach.

As we enter a new year, many local homeowners are facing a familiar question. Should they bring their Tadley home to market in January, or wait until the late spring?

Landlords often debate how much to spend on their rental property. Overspending eats into profits, but under-investing leads to bigger problems later — not to mention unhappy tenants. The key is to focus on improvements that add long-term value, reduce maintenance, and keep your property attractive to tenants.

As we kick off the year, East and Central Swindon’s property market is active but calm. Homes are selling, buyers are engaged and transactions are ticking over but this is no race. In 2026, it’s timing, local competition and clear pricing that shape results not just putting a home online and hoping for the best.

The UK property market is off to a record-breaking start in 2026. January saw average new seller asking prices rise to £368,031, up 2.8% (+£9,893) from December, which is the largest January increase ever recorded and the biggest monthly jump since June 2015. Prices are now 0.5% higher than this time last year, signaling a strong post-Budget reboun
