Over the next couple of week’s we are going to list some tips that will hopefully help you sell your house.
1 Analyze
Has your house been on the market for a while? Have you had any fresh viewings or any potential offers? If it’s yes, no and no. Maybe you should think about reassessing the situation – this could be in the form of altering the way the house is presented, simply it’s over priced or the market is not just moving at all at your price range.
2. Be Ready for an Offer
Be sure that you have a solicitor in the pipeline and your finances and mortgage in check. This will just make the transaction process move more fluidly. Rather than running round at the last minute, and the process taking unexpected delays which could break a deal.
3. Get it valued and look at the competition
Get the professionals in! Get at least 4 estate agents in, and take the average value out of the 4. Also find out what other houses are selling / advertised at around the area. Then make judgement call on the asking price suggested
4. Fix it or forget it.
Have a good honest look at the house and try to put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer. What puts you off? Make a list and get them repaired. Struggling to find anything? Ask the agents when they do a valuation for their opinions – as a fresh pair of eyes will see things you won’t.
