Independent advice
Selling a home can be frustrating, especially when weeks turn into months and nothing seems to be happening. Notsold gives you an independent, honest second opinion on what's holding your sale back, and a practical plan to fix it.
How it works
No jargon, no hard sell. Just an honest look at why your home hasn't sold and what to do about it.
Choose an online consultation or a visit, send us your listing link and pay securely online. We then confirm your appointment time.
We review your listing, price, photos, marketing and local market, and talk through what's working and what isn't.
You receive a clear written report with our price opinion, the key issues and a prioritised action plan.
Services
Start with a quick second opinion online, or have us walk through the property with you.
£195including VAT

Both options are independent. You are under no obligation to change agent. Property visits cover homes within around 45 minutes' drive of Ashford.
Why homes stick
Most stuck sales come down to a handful of fixable things. We find out which ones apply to yours.
01Price
With fewer comparable sales for larger and rural homes, asking prices can drift away from what buyers will actually pay. It's the most common reason buyers scroll past.
02Marketing
Dark photos, no drone or garden shots, a missing site plan or a description full of clichés can lose buyers before they book a viewing.
03Presentation
The approach, gardens, outbuildings, clutter and lighting shape how buyers feel in the first few minutes of a viewing.
You pay for the time. The advice is yours to use however you like.Notsold.co.uk

About
Notsold doesn't market or sell your home, and we don't take commission from your sale. Our job is to tell you what we think, clearly and plainly.
Rupert was born in Ashford, educated in Canterbury and Tonbridge, and lives near Ashford today. He has spent 21 years in residential property, across sales, lettings, search and acquisition, and property management, much of it in prime London. In 2010 he founded The London Management Company, a private client property management business, and in 2017 The London Broker, a self-employed brokerage model for agents. His market commentary has appeared in The Daily Telegraph, Sky News, the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express. Notsold brings that experience home to Kent, giving sellers the frank, independent view he'd want on his own house.

No. It's a market appraisal and price opinion based on local data and our professional judgement. It is not a formal survey or valuation.
No. We help with all kinds of homes, from village cottages and modern family houses to country houses. Whatever your home is worth, a stalled sale costs you money, and a single price reduction usually costs far more than our fee.
No. Many clients stay with their current agent and simply adjust price, presentation or marketing based on our advice.
If you ask us to recommend an agent or other property professional, we may receive a referral fee. You are free to choose anyone you like, or no one at all.
That's fine. Leave the listing link blank on the booking form and tell us a little about the property in the notes. A pre-launch review can help you get the price and presentation right first time.
You pay securely by card when you book, through Stripe. We then email you within one working day to confirm your appointment time. If we can't offer a time that suits you, we'll refund you in full.
