Selling your home? Follow these steps to make sure your move goes as smooth as possible……….
Our top tips for selling your home
- Find yourself an agent to sell your home. Get 3 or 4 valuations for a wider view as possible. Look at the agents reviews and a personal recommendation from a friend or colleague can also help.
- Speak to a qualified mortgage adviser to understand mortgage capacity and what this might cost. Again, look at their reviews and ask for recommendations. A good broker will take you through the whole process and take all the hard work away from you, reporting to you at each application milestone.
- Assess your moving costs. Moving home is expensive with estate agency fees, survey and broker fees, solicitors fees and stamp duty amongst others.
- Do some spring cleaning, presenting your home in the best possible way will give you the best chance of securing a buyer at the best price. So, make sure your garden is tidy, outside areas are clean and orderly. Fix any defects and have a good spring clean.
- Instruct your chosen agent. A good estate agent will earn their fee and take the a lot of the stress and hard work away.
- Once you have an offer instruct your solicitor to act on your behalf.
- A good estate agent will have a contracts manager who will progress your sale and potential purchase to a successful conclusion.
- Good luck and be patient, moving can be stressful and can take a long time.
