Andrew Winter, About Andrew Winter

Andrew started as a trainee estate agent in Bristol in 1984, then spent about five years in The Cotswolds selling 'cottages, barns and stuff up muddy tracks'.





He spent a few years in Central London selling apartments and townhouses, and for around eight years was a partner in the exciting Canary Wharf area of London, involved with property investments, property management, sales and new developments - even furnishing homes for clients.

Andrew admits he is obsessed with houses and over the last 20 years reckons he has seen every sort of buyer and seller, and helped to sell every type of property.

During this time he also found time to research and present Selling Houses for Channel 4. Over the last five years, the programme has aired all over the world.

  8. Hi Andrew, my situation is not the norm. I have a petit chateau with a petite maison, 4.2 hectares, small lake, swimming pool and grounds, it was 'sold' in Nov 2007 and due to my husband relocating back to the UK I returned with our 3 sons also. We have everything in storage as we expected to be able to buy the house we wanted after the exchange. Unfortunately the buyer let us down and pulled out of the deal. We only received the 10keuros deposit. It is costing us £400 per month storage, we emptied our place in France and have knocked over 130000euros off the asking price. It still has not sold. I wish you could work your magic on our property and help us sell it, it is a real gem of a place it is a mystery to us all why it hasn't sold. I think ours would be the property to challenge you as never before as it is empty and we are all back in the UK. Advice is most welcome. Thanks for reading.

I know everyone has problems selling right now....but we planned to sell up and retire early to France years ago and sadly having given up our jobs and spent a lot doing up our house, its been on the market for nearly 5 months. We were valued at over 600k last year, this year we accepted a middle valuation of 575k and have reduced to 525k...still not sold....its a fab house in Newbury, lovely location, lovely house...any ideas please?

  12. Currently at home and channel flicking i have been watching the Selling Houses reruns everyday. I just wanted to say, absolutely fantastic show, my favourite of all the homes programmes due to its sheer honesty. can't wait for a new series. More and more of the same please. (With Andrew Winter of course, so many programmes are spoilt by trying to rerun the same format with a different presenter, it never works)

  13. Hi Kelly First question: do you really have to sell at the moment? Obviously, there are very few buyers around, which would help explain your situation. Secondly, I don't think that a dozen viewings over 18 months is very much - so there's either something wrong with the house and/or the way it's being marketed and/or the price you have it on at. What's been the feedback from the viewings that you did have? Did people say it was wrongly priced? Did it need a good clean and polish? Was the location bad? If feedback is generally something you can act on, then do it to get a sale (ie, redecorate, declutter, present it at its best). If it's the location that's putting people off, there's not alot you can do, save looking at the price. If something is priced right, you'll always find someone to buy it - assuming there are any buyers out in your area at the mo'. I suggest you visit our buying and selling section and go through it thoroughly to get all the info you need: http://www.channel4.com/4homes/buying-selling/. Then, I'd get your current agent round and have a heart to heart with them. Ask them why they think it isn't selling. Push them to get it in the window, in the newspaper, on their website prominently. Check the details. Are the pictures old or out of date? Sometimes, it's worth taking a house that's been on the market that long off, giving it a quick revamp and putting it back on. That way the agent can market it as 'new to the market' and it will give them new things to say... Good luck
