Is it Time to Take That First Step Towards Moving?

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.

If you’ve been thinking about moving home but haven’t yet listed it, you’re in a very common crisis!

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.

Sound familiar?

As your local avocado property partner for Stevenage, I see this all the time. And more often than not, it’s not just about the logistics; it’s about emotions, uncertainty, and timing.

Why Haven’t You Listed Yet?

There’s no wrong (or right) answer here. You might be:
  • Unsure if the timing is optimal 
  • Nervous about the selling process
  • Not sure what your home is worth
  • Waiting to find the “perfect” next place first
  • Feeling emotionally attached to where you are

All of those reasons are completely valid (please don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!), but here’s the truth: once you start the process, everything else starts to get easier.

Let’s Build Your Plan Together

The first step? Understanding what your home is worth right now. That doesn’t mean you have to list tomorrow, it just means you can start planning with clarity.

When I come to value your property, we talk through:
  • Your ideal timelines
  • Your goals for your next chapter
  • What matters most to you (location, price, and pace)
  • It’s personal and flexible. And it’s built around you.

That’s one of the biggest differences when you work with a self-employed avocado agent like me. I don’t juggle dozens of listings at a time or follow a one-size-fits-all approach. I choose to work with a small number of clients so I can give each one the focus, attention, and care they actually deserve. 

With me, you're not just another listing on a board. You're the priority.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

If the perfect property comes along before you’re ready, that can create panic. But if your home is already on the market or even just prepped and valued, you’ll be in a stronger position to make your move.

(That’s what the HQ support team calls being “proceedable” - I know, estate agent jargon…yawn. All it really means is you’re ready. And don’t worry, if you do decide to put your house on the market with me, I promise to limit the industry buzzwords and talk to you on a human level!)

f you walk down almost any Ruislip road or street, you will see the quiet signs of life playing out behind the front doors. Families growing. Kids leaving home. Kitchens are being refitted for the second or third time. Yet somewhere in that rhythm, every homeowner starts to feel it again ... the gentle itch to move.

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.
