junk-filled home doesn’t give the impression of a loved and cherished dream home, so moving house is the ideal moment to have a good clear-out!
Neutral décor, cleanliness and beautifully presented rooms will allow viewers to visualise their dream.
2. PRICE YOUR HOME TO SELL
Your property is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and unsurprisingly this harsh truth is difficult to take in for many sellers.
Whilst an inflated valuation may tempt you into placing your property on the market with one agent over another, here at Charles Wycherley we will always value your property competitively and when it comes to negotiating the sale we will endeavour to achieve the best price possible for you. That’s our job.
Most buyers will have done their research and will be aware of property prices in your area which means that an overpriced property won’t get a look in on price alone. This is why it’s vital that the price your home comes to market at, is the correct price.
3. MAINTAIN YOUR PROPERTY
Time is precious and you are busy – yes that’s true, but by failing to fix the cracked window, broken drainpipe, dripping tap or peeling wallpaper,
your property stands out as unloved and poorly maintained, leading potential buyers to wonder what else might be wrong including the worry that there may be bigger underlying issues.
It’s simple, get all those annoying jobs done before you place your property on the market!
4. DON’T BE EMOTIONAL!
Of course, you may feel emotional when selling your home, particularly if you have lived there for some time, but it’s important to be objective once you have made the final decision to sell. Put emotions to one side, remove personal effects and treat it as a show home to ensure your property sells quickly and for the price, you wish to achieve.
