Preparing to sell your property

Are you gearing up to sell your home for the first time? We understand the whirlwind of emotions that comes with it—it's a rollercoaster ride! But fear not, as daunting as it may seem, we're here to guide you through every step of the way.

Let's start with the basics. Setting the right price for your property is crucial. It's your opportunity to make a lasting impression, especially during the initial launch when your listing is hot on the portals. Getting the price spot-on from the outset increases your chances of a swift sale at the best possible value, without the need for adjustments later on.

Now, let's talk solicitors. Selling a property involves a different process compared to buying. While finding the cheapest solicitor might have sufficed when you were purchasing, selling demands a more strategic approach. It's wise to instruct solicitors early on, even before securing a buyer. This allows ample time for the necessary paperwork, ensuring a smooth and efficient sale process. And if your property is leasehold, don't forget to liaise with the management company for the sellers pack—a crucial step that can prevent delays.

Next up, viewings. Presenting your home in its best light is key. While maintaining a picture-perfect environment 24/7 is challenging, keeping things clean, clutter-free, and tidy for viewings goes a long way in creating a positive impression on potential buyers.

Information is power. Anticipate the questions that buyers may ask and arm your agent with comprehensive details about your property. From boiler servicing and loft insulation to the orientation of your garden and the vibe of your neighbourhood, no detail is too small. The more informed your agent is, the better equipped they'll be to showcase the unique selling points of your home.
