When you are keen to move house quickly it can be tempting to accept the first buyer who comes along with an attractive offer. Or, if there are multiple bidders, it only natural to opt for the buyer offering the most money. 

How can you make sure that your property is seen in the best light by viewers? Here are the top five things to consider.

One of the first things a buyer will ask an estate agent when offered a property is: “How long has it been on the market?” This is why pricing your property to generate competition among buyers remains key to a quick and successful sale.

Should I renovate or sell, should I sell now or sell later? I hear these questions regularly. The desire to create a nicer home can be tempered by doubts over value for money and whether you will recoup your outlay – especially if you are not in your ‘forever home’.

Despite the fact that many people regard estate agents as more or less the same, there are in fact numerous selection criteria on which to judge the good from the bad, and the exciting from the mildly indifferent.     

As a seller, it is tempting to accept the highest estate agent’s valuation you receive. However, there are three sound reasons why you should avoid overpricing your home. 

Many sellers who receive a good offer for their home turn it down because they have not yet found “the right property” and worry that they will in effect become homeless should they sell first

When selling your property, it is always worth considering its suitability for a physically-impaired buyer – and not just from their perspective, but yours too!
