Is It Time to Let Go of Your Home?

If you’re feeling stuck between wanting to move and not knowing how to emotionally handle it, 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.

It’s not every day that a local independent estate agent gets featured in a national publication (for the right reasons) — but that’s exactly what’s just happened! I’m proud to share that I was recently featured in The Guardian’s “Ask the Expert” column, offering insights and advice on the UK property market.

We are excited to say that we have been shortlisted for the Negotiator Awards 2025, Regional Agency of the Year: Southeast, representing avocado property. This recognition reflects our people-first approach, hands-on service, and the results we achieve, helping homeowners feel supported throughout their selling journey.

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.

Let’s call it what it is: being on the market with no real progress is frustrating.
