Long-term buyers wait
Buyers who plan to stay for decades won't stretch for a home that doesn't feel right. Price and presentation have to be right from the start.
Kensington, London
House not selling in Kensington?
Kensington is a settled, family-focused prime market. Buyers are patient and well advised, so homes that aren't selling are usually mispriced or under-presented.

The local market
Selling in Kensington
The Phillimore Estate, Edwardes Square, Kensington Square and the streets around Church Street and Kensington High Street offer some of London's most sought-after family houses, alongside mansion flats and conversions. Good schools, Holland Park and Kensington Gardens bring long-term buyers who often stay for decades.
Those buyers take their time. If a home is priced on hope, presented in a dated way or missing key information, they will simply wait for the next one.
Why homes stick
Common problems in Kensington
Every home is different, but these come up again and again. The consultation finds out which apply to yours.
02
Family houses needing updating
Houses that haven't been modernised are priced by buyers on the cost and disruption of the work. Being clear about it helps.
03
Mansion flats and conversions
Floor level, lift, outlook and lease all affect value. We'll look at how your flat compares.
