Why The New Year Is A Great Time To Put Your Property On The Market
Our top tips for selling your home in the New Year;
The new year is an ideal time for a fresh start, especially after Christmas. This makes it a popular period to begin looking for a new home. Buyer activity increases in the new year, and on average, properties in January sell quicker than ones listed in spring.
Our top tips for selling your home in the New Year;
1: Use the right Estate Agent;
Here at Sure Sales & Lettings, we have an in-depth knowledge of the local area, and our team of experts can help guide you through every step of the way. Our team are extensively trained and adhere to a strict code of practise in accordance with the professional bodies which we are members of.
2: Instruct a Property Lawyer;
If you are looking for a quick sale, it is worth reaching out to a conveyancing solicitor sooner rather than later. This will help you get all your paperwork together and help prevent any delays further down the line.
3: Get your house ready for sale;
Clearing your home as much as possible can help viewers invision themselves living there. Clean out cupboards and storage areas, and consider donating or storing items you no longer need. A clutter-free home feels more spacious and inviting. It is also worth considering fixing any issues that might come up in a survey to prevent them from delaying the move.
You may also need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), a report that assesses the energy efficiency of a property and gives a grade with 'A' being the most efficient.
4. Be flexible with viewings;
Be prepared to accommodate viewings, even at short notice. Evenings and weekends can be common requests and even though they may be less convenient for you, the more accessible your home is for potential buyers, the higher the chances of a successful sale.
5. Negotiate Wisely;
Work closely with your estate agent to negotiate effectively when you receive an offer. Be open to reasonable offers and consider any contingencies or conditions carefully.
Everyone wants the best price, but if you want to sell quickly, opt for a chain-free buyer who isn’t relying on selling their home to buy yours.
