Agents using BREXIT as a reason

[spanglysteve]

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
