In the last two years only 54.7% of the homes that came on the market have ended up selling.

Meanwhile, the remaining 45.3% of Lincoln homes, they didn't sell.

They simply sat, drifted, reduced and eventually disappeared from the market, unsold.

That gap is not usually caused by greed.

It is caused by hope, emotion and sometimes poor advice.

For most Lincoln homeowners, their home is not just bricks and mortar, bedrooms and square footage.

It is where their children were raised, Christmas mornings happened, extensions were built, gardens were planted and lives were lived.

So when the time comes to move home, it is entirely understandable that many sellers look at their Lincoln home through the lens of what it means to them.

The problem is that buyers do not buy memories.

They buy value.

And in the Lincoln property market, that distinction now matters more than ever.

When only just over one in two Lincoln homes that come on the market end up moving, is this just a Lincoln problem? Well, looking across the East Midlands region, the percentage of homes that sold was 56.3%, whilst nationally, only 55.6% of homes that come to the market result in the homeowner selling and moving.

So that means almost half of UK homeowners who put their property up for sale do not move at all.

That is not a small statistic.

In fact, in the last 12 months, 751,904 UK households withdrew from the market unsold.

It is the difference between a homeowner moving on with their life and a homeowner spending months on the market, only to end up exactly where they started.
