Sounds like a combination of time of year and a shit agent.

Sounds familiar. Our place has been on the market for just over 2 weeks. 4 viewings. One said that some of the rooms were a bit dark. Not sure the estate agent could find the light switch. Things are very quiet on the market so we are trying to be super patient.
I do wonder how agents are going to be able to answer many questions. They may have info on local schools and stuff, but they won't tell people how the patio is bathed in evening sunshine from April to October and how the road seems to have avoided being a rat run and we don't think there have been any murders in the last 14 years.

All the feedback from the agent has been that the people viewing like the inside but the location is wrong (on 'main' road, next to A12, noisy garden). This doesn't seem hugely constructive, as they valued it based on the location and we can't change any of those things.
One way of interpreting this is that to make this judgment they must have seen other comparable houses that aren't noisy at about the same money, so maybe the agent didn't consider this compromise enough in the price.
Take it off the market now.
Relaunch it in the new year with a new agent as a 3 bed and try to find one who will use someone decent to show people round.

I could do with some advice on selling...
I am wondering if we should have chosen an agent closer to us (they're based in shoreditch, we're on the other side of Hackney) but I naively assumed it wouldn't matter in the age of rightmove/etc and they seemed quite pro.
Better to disappoint with a tiny third bedroom or just not get into search results in the first place?
