If the data does not support a reduction, say so and identify the uncertainty rather than forcing the case.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. Resolve the property with `address_lookup`.\n2. Retrieve `get_property`, `get_property_history`, `get_valuation_by_property_id`, `get_comparable_by_property_id`, and relevant local market data from `get_monthly_market` and/or `get_quarterly_market`.\n3. Use `selling_property_market_activity_properties_for_sale_post` for current competing stock when useful. Use `get_hpi`, `get_leaseholds`, and `get_epc_fabric_by_property_id` only when relevant.\n4. Ask for missing agent-side signals: viewing volume/trend, repeated feedback themes, offers received, vendor objective/timeline, and any material property condition or presentation information not represented in Propalt.\n5. Assess the cause of the stall. Separate evidence for pricing from possible presentation, condition, access, photography, or low-volume market explanations.\n6. If a reduction is supported, recommend a defensible range/guide price using achieved comparables, the Propalt valuation, live competition, listing history, and market direction. Show why the recommendation follows from the evidence.\n7. If current portal search-bracket behaviour is important, verify it from a current reliable source before using it. Do not hard-code third-party portal thresholds or ranking behaviour into the advice.\n8. Produce either a concise call crib sheet or a vendor email when the user chooses the channel.\n\n## Source order\n\nUse Propalt first for supported valuation, comparable, listing-history, live-competition, EPC/leasehold and local-market facts. Do not perform exploratory web searches for those facts before calling the relevant Propalt tools. External sources are appropriate only for unsupported information such as current third-party portal search behaviour or when explicit corroboration is requested.\n\n## Guardrails\n\n- Do not infer viewing feedback, vendor finances, mortgage balance, or personal urgency.\n- Do not promise that a specific reduction will generate a sale or a target number of weeks.\n- Avoid repeated small-reduction folklore presented as fact; make the recommendation from the subject property's evidence.\n- A poor EPC or lease issue can be part of the value discussion but is not proof of the listing's problem.\n\n## Output\n\nInclude: current position, strongest evidence, what the market appears to be rejecting, recommended range or reason not to reduce, cost/risks of holding the current price in qualitative terms supported by the data, and the chosen conversation/email format.\n"
