Is it Time to Let Go of Your Home?

If you’re feeling stuck between wanting to move and not knowing how to handle it emotionally, here’s what I’d say...

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get said enough in the housing world:

Selling your home is a big deal.


Even if you’re frustrated with the space.
Even if you’re longing for something new.
Even if the logic all points to moving.

There can still be a weight on your chest when you think about letting go.

Maybe it’s the place where your kids took their first steps.
Maybe it’s where you spent a milestone birthday.
Or maybe it just represents a chapter you’re not quite done processing yet.

That’s okay.

If you’re feeling stuck between wanting to move and not knowing how to emotionally handle it, here’s what I’d say:
Start with a conversation.

You don’t need to have all the answers before you speak to someone. In fact, that’s what I'm here for.

As your local avocado property agent, I’ve helped people move through every stage of this journey, from the moment they first say, “I think it might be time” to the day they hand over the keys.

I can talk you through everything you might be worrying about, from practical things like solicitors and surveys, to emotional stuff like how to feel ok saying goodbye.

There’s no hard sell here. Just support. Honest advice. And someone on your team.

So, if you’re wondering whether it’s time to move on, but feel like something still needs closing first, let’s talk.

Yet never did. Here is why. If you have ever thought about selling your Henley home, you will know how tempting it can be to stretch the asking price. After all, it is your biggest tax-free asset, and those extra few thousand pounds can feel like a sensible cushion. Yet in the Henley property market, ambition can sometimes cost more than it earns.

Would it surprise you that of the 10.94 million homes that have left UK estate agents books since January 2019, only 6.33 million (or 57.86%) sold and moved. The other 4.61 million came off the market unsold. This is the extent of the sellability issue.

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.
