Selling your house is often as exciting as it is intimidating, but you can make it more exciting with a little planning and effort. Follow our 5 tips to help you get started so you can sell your home quickly and for the best possible price:

  1. Get prepared to sell. This means your home and you, firstly your home; decluttering, cleaning, and completing all those little jobs you might of been putting off. Buyers want to be able to imagine themselves living in your home, so make sure it's in move-in condition and you don't have to leave too much to their imagination. Part of getting prepared to sell is also you, pschologically and legally, the pschological part will take time and normally you knwo when your ready, the legal part means appointing a solicitor and completing the paperwork required before going onto the market, ask us about how we can get you legally prepared to sell, it will save time and stress later on in the process.
  2. Price your home competitively. You don't want to price your home too high, or you'll risk scaring away buyers. But you also don't want to price it too low, or you'll lose money. An estate agent appraisal will help you get an idea of what your home is worth, but if there is a range as tempting as it is to go with the highest price that isn't always the best way. Listen to the research the agents shows you and choose the agent that can demonstrate the valuation with recent comparable sales, not just properties on the market For Sale. You can put your property on the market at whatever price you like, so don't be tempted to choose the highest price just to try, this strategy can be very damaging in the long run.
  3. Market your home effectively. This means listing it online on social media and Rightmove, and also getting the word out to friends, family, and neighbors. Our job as estate agents is to tell as many people as possible your home is on the market and as a house seller you can assist with that, so Yes a For Sale board is still a vital piece of marketing, not wanting the neighbours to know you're selling? That is kind of our job, how do you knwo they might not know someone who wants to buy in your road?
  4. Be responsive to buyers and ensure your estate agent is too. When a buyer shows interest in your home, be sure to respond promptly to their inquiries. This shows that you're serious about selling, and serious sellers are more likely to attract serious buyers and lead to strong offers with the highest chance of proceeding through to completion.
  5. Be patient. Selling a home can take time, so don't get discouraged if it doesn't sell right away. Often properties will take more than a couple of weeks to sell, listen to the feedback that should be provided by your estate agent, feel free to provide some yourselves and don't panic.
