Six Key Influences to consider
when selling a property...
- Location
- Market conditions
- Number and quality of competing properties
- Estate Agent
- Selling Prices
- Condition of property
The quality of all Estate Agents is not the same but what is paramount is the local knowledge and experience of the Estate Agent you choose. By choosing an agent appointed by The Guild of Professional Estate Agents, you are guaranteed, a service with experience and extreme professionalism.
Catch the wave of peak viewing's
The peak viewing period for a house coming on to the market at the right price is within the first few weeks. This wave of concentrated interest is rarely repeated at the same level during the time the house is on the market, even after a price reduction.
Create the right first impression
From your driveway...
Ensure the front garden looks its best - tidy lawns and flowerbeds and keep driveways swept.
Your house number or name should be clearly visible and leave space for visitors to park.
A warm welcome...
Be ready for viewing's. Turn the heating on and light fires for winter. Open curtains and turn on lights - people react favourably to brighter properties.
Appeal to the senses with fragrant flowers.
Tidy rooms...
A clean and tidy house gives the impression you care and are happy living there. Remove any evidence of washing and ironing to allow your rooms to feel more spacious.
Clean Kitchen...
Your kitchen can have a major impact on the sale of your house. It should be well organised with tidy worktops and cupboards. Ensure it is as clean as possible and smells fresh.
DIY...
Do those niggly jobs you've been putting off- touching up paint, re-sealing wallpaper etc. can improve saleability.
Your buyer...
Let your potential buyer visualise themselves living in your house - give them 'space' and time to look around. Have any guarantees on hand and be prepared to answer any questions that may arise. |
