House not selling in Clapham?

The local market

Selling in Clapham

Around the Common, the Old Town and Abbeville Village, buyers find Georgian and early Victorian houses, Victorian and Edwardian terraces and a large number of conversion flats. Clapham Junction, Clapham Common and Clapham North stations make it popular with commuters, and the Northern line and Overground give buyers plenty of choice.

That choice is the problem for some sellers. Buyers in Clapham view a lot of similar homes, so a flat with poor photos, no floorplan or an awkward lease, or a house priced as if it had already been extended, can be overlooked.

Why homes stick

Common problems in Clapham

Every home is different, but these come up again and again. The consultation finds out which apply to yours.

01

Conversion flats that look alike

When several similar flats are for sale on the same streets, the one with the best presentation and clearest information gets the viewings.

02

Extension potential versus reality

Buyers will pay for space they can see. Potential for a loft or kitchen extension helps, but it rarely justifies the price of a home that has already been extended.

03

Shared freeholds and leases

Short leases, unclear shared freehold arrangements or missing paperwork put buyers off. We'll help you get ahead of the questions.
