To successfully sell your property, focus on preparing your home, maximising curb appeal, decluttering, and understanding the local market, while also choosing a reliable estate agent and being flexible during negotiations
Prepare your home
Thorough Cleaning and Repairs: Address any minor issues like leaky taps, cracked tiles, or holes in walls
Fresh Paint: A fresh coat of neutral paint can make your home feel brighter and more spacious
Declutter: Remove excess belongings to help potential buyers visualise the space
Home Staging: Consider staging your home to make it more appealing and easier for buyers to imagine living there
Fix and Clean: Make sure your property is clean, fresh, and clutter-free for viewings
Enhance curb appeal
Tidy up the Exterior: Mow the lawn, trim hedges, and ensure the front door and windows are clean and presentable
Garden Upkeep: A well maintained garden can significantly enhance the overall appeal of your property
Consider a Professional Clean: Get the windows professionally cleaned and replace the worn-out door mat so prospective buyers aren’t put off before they’ve even walked through the front door
Understand the local market
Research: Do your research online and look at what properties similar to your are selling for in your area
Talk to Locals: Speak with people who have recently bought or sold in the area to get a sense of the current market conditions
Get a Valuation: Get your property valued by a reputable estate agent to determine a realistic asking price
Choose a good Estate Agent
Find an Agent you Trust: Choose an agent who understands the local market and has a good track record
Communicate Regularly: Maintain open communication with your agent throughout the sales process
Be Flexible with Viewings: Be accommodating with viewings to maximise the number of potential buyers
Negotiation
Be Open to Negotiations: Be prepared to negotiate on the price and terms of the sale
Know your Bottom Line: Determine your minimum acceptable price before entering into negotiations
Be Flexible: Showing flexibility can make you a more attractive seller and may result in a better offer and more simplified sales process
Other important considerations
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): Make sure your property has a valid EPC, as it is a legal requirement for selling
Conveyancing Solicitor: Chose a reputable local conveyancing solicitor to handle the legal aspects of the sale
Advertising: Decide how you want to advertise your property (DIY, online, or through an estate agent)
Paperwork: Ensure you have all necessary paperwork and documentation ready for the sale
