Tips for Vendors
In this competitive housing market, there are a number of things you should do prior to putting your house on the market that will increase your chances of selling quickly and at a price you are happy with.
Properties that are overpriced simply will not sell and, although you can bring the price down later, this may give the appearance that there is something wrong with it. It is certainly worth doing some research of your own to establish what you think would be a realistic asking price. Also, get at least 3 agents to value your home and ensure you ask them to supply you with some comparable evidence to support their valuation. It is not wise to select an agent purely based on their high valuation.
As well as the rather fundamental business of getting the price right, it is also a good idea to contact your solicitor to ensure that any issues which may cause complications later on in the sales process are ironed out in advance. For example, do you have any outstanding planning issues or boundary disputes which may present problems for your buyer. Sales often fall apart for these very reasons and getting them sorted out beforehand can save a lot of stress and disappointment.
Also, you will never realise your home’s potential value if it is not presented correctly. Please find below some guidelines which may help you to prepare your home before you put it on the market, what to do immediately prior to a viewing and how to show viewers around your home most effectively
