Agents using BREXIT as a reason

Is anyone finding their agents using 'Brexit' as a general reason for no viewings/offers?


My agent keeps saying this and to me I dont think I'm at a pricepoint which would really be impacted by either outcome. When i do get viewings the feedback is 'oh they like it, but Brexit. Do you think this is just fobbing off. I keep asking them for more specific feedback and they just keep giving this as a reason (Ive told them I'm happy to hear negative feedback also).


Is anyone else finding this, or do I just have a lazy agent?

Hi Mate


Agents will use any excuse for no viewings so brexit is an obvious one! They do have a point of course as Im sure some people are holding back given widely held view that Brexit would knock 20% (or whatever) off London house prices but if it helps... when I was selling I got- "Its Valentines day", "its raining", its "east weekend soon" etc etc!!!!


Chances are you might have too high an asking price but best to ask them how many registered buyers theyve got and if they are actively getting viewings on other similar properties to yours - then quizzing why you arent. At least make them work for their excuses


good luck

    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
