Homes listed for sale now may not complete until Easter, report suggests

Landlord Today has highlighted another downbeat read on the market from Rightmove. The headline message for sellers: list a property for sale now and you may not complete until Easter. The site describes the piece as "another gloomy market assessment by Rightmove".

The publicly available summary is thin on detail, so this brief sticks to what the headline reports — that a listing taken on now could still be awaiting completion when Easter arrives. No figures, price data or regional breakdowns appear in the material provided, and we won't speculate beyond it.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, the item is a prompt to read the full assessment before discussing sale timings with landlord clients who may be weighing up a disposal. The substance sits in the original report.
