Moving house and selling a home in Northampton can be stressful for the most laid-back person, here is our top tips to help make the process as smooth and easy as possible for anyone moving home in:

1)    10% move out – Take a walk around your house from the buyer's point of view. Remove personal items and clutter to allow potential buyers to envision themselves living in the space. Consider rearranging furniture to maximise the room's potential and create a brighter, more spacious atmosphere.

2)    Research agents and don’t be fooled by price – Research estate agents thoroughly and avoid falling for exaggerated promises or unrealistic price guarantees. Seek multiple opinions before committing to an agent to ensure you're making an informed decision.

3)    Reach out to a friend or family member – Enlist the help of a trusted friend or family member to assess your home objectively. Their fresh perspective can identify areas for improvement and help make your home more appealing to a wider range of buyers.

4)    I’ll do that next week job – Address any lingering maintenance or cosmetic issues that could detract from your home's appeal. Simple tasks like cleaning the driveway, tidying the garden, and freshening up paint can make a significant difference without breaking the bank.

5)    Be realistic – While your home may hold sentimental value, it's essential to be realistic about its market worth. Overpricing your property can lead to a prolonged and frustrating sales process. Consider your selling motivations and objectives to set a reasonable asking price.
