One of the key ways to understand why your Leicester property isn’t selling is to take a step back and look at your property with fresh eyes. In order to sell your home it isn’t necessarily about dropping the price of your property; it’s about maximising the key benefits.
At Open House Leicester here are top tips that can easily answer the question of why my Leicester house is not selling:
Photographs
High quality photographs that really show off your property can sell houses instantly. Poor quality photographs can instantly put people off viewing a property.
Typically, people want to see light and bright spaces. Plus, the more light a room gets the larger it appears, especially in a picture! Make sure that curtains are fully pulled back, lights are on and your home is tidy.
Nowadays almost everyone starts their search for a new property online, and with so much choice you need to present as much information as possible to make an informed decision.
Choose the right marketing approach
Knowing how to market your property is a necessity. In today’s fast paced online world, the internet is often the best place to market your property. There are lots of highly successful property websites in which homes are listed, from Zoopla to Rightmove. In a lot of cases, this can often be a great place to have your home listed as a lot of people browse these sites for inspiration.

Make use of your extra space
You may have used that spare bedroom as a dumping ground for all of your work equipment, but you need to make sure that you define the room’s initial purpose. Whether it’s an office, guest bedroom or children’s playroom, you need to make sure that it is appropriately furnished.
Also make sure that you show how to use any awkward spaces. Turn the little cubby hole under the stairs into an office space or put a storage unit in the unused corner of the dining room. You need to give the illusion that the house goes above and beyond all of the buyer’s needs.
