Selling Tips

Preparing your property

• Make sure the property is tidy and presentable at all times
• Clear away any clutter or unnecessary furniture
• Make the property look appealing from the outside
• Touch up paintwork if necessary and tidy the front and rear gardens. If there is a lawn or hedge, make sure they are kept trimmed.

Viewings

• If you are living in the property whilst it is being shown, it will always give a better impression if it is kept well aired and clutter free
• Leave lights on (particularly in winter) so that all the rooms seem welcoming.
• Try to avoid strong costly smells if possible although people tend to react favourably to the aroma of fresh coffee or baking.

Instruct Solicitors immediately

• Appointing a Solicitor immediately could speed up the whole selling process.
• The Solicitor should ideally be supplied with title deeds at the earliest possible opportunity to reduce the risk of a sale falling through.

Structural Survey

If you are concerned about the structural condition of your property, we would suggest you talk to a structural surveyor prior to putting your property on the market.
