• Top Tips for Selling Your Home

   

  Selling your home can be a challenging and stressful process, but with the right guidance, it can be a smooth and successful experience. At Housefox we provide moving managers that take away much of the stress when selling your home. We have provided some tips to help you sell your home quicker here in the UK:

   

  1. Do some research: Your first step should be to research the asking and sold prices for similar properties in the area. We ccan provide historical prices of previous sales relating to your postcode and street address. Looking on property websites or by visiting our estate agent sales to review our sold properties.

     Valuation of your Home - Property

  2. Getting a valuation: Before you decide on a price for your home, you should get it valued. This will give you a better understanding of what your home is worth. An online property valuation calculator can help. Also researching prices of similar properties near you that have sold recently.

  3. Make your home look inviting: A warm, tidy and inviting home is more appealing to any potential buyers. Make sure your windows are dressed with blinds or curtains, and if you have a fireplace, make sure it is clean.

  4. Neutral shades: Painting your home in a neutral shade can make it appear much lighter, brighter and bigger, this allows potential buyers to see how they can make the space their own.

  5. Garden grooming: Better known as Curb Appeal - Cut back bushes and shrubs and make sure your garden looks well-groomed. This can improve the overall appearance of your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

  6. Take good photos: When advertising your home, make sure to take high-quality photos that showcase its best features. At HouseFox we have a Professional Photographer as part of our estate agent selling services. 

  7. Be flexible: Be open to property home viewings at different times and be flexible with the price if possible. This can increase the chances of selling your home quickly.

     Showcase Your Home in the Best Way

  8. Showcase your home: When it comes to showing your home to potential buyers, it's important to make a good first impression. Make sure your home is clean, tidy and free of clutter. You should also consider staging your home by placing furniture in a way that makes the most of your home's space and features. This will help buyers to see how they could live in the space and imagine themselves in the home.

  9. Hire an estate agent: If you're not confident in managing the process of selling your home, consider hiring an estate agent. Estate agents have the knowledge, experience and resources to help you sell your home quickly and efficiently. They can help you to price your home correctly, market it effectively and negotiate offers with potential buyers.

  10. Be prepared to negotiate: When it comes to selling your home, be prepared to negotiate with potential buyers. It's common for buyers to make an offer that is lower than your asking price, so it's important to have a clear idea of what you're willing to accept. You may also need to be flexible on closing dates and other terms, depending on the buyer's needs.

  11. Be aware of the legal process: When selling a home in the UK, it's important to be aware of the legal process. You should instruct a solicitor to handle the sale of your home and make sure that you understand the terms of the sale agreement. HouseFox estate agents can help with solicitors and legal matters that count. You should also be aware of any taxes or fees that may be due when selling your home, and make sure that you have any necessary documentation in place. Your estate agent manager at HouseFox will help you regarding all these matters regarding the legal process.

With these tips in mind, you should be well on your way to a successful sale of your home. Remember to be patient, flexible and stay informed throughout the process. Feel free to contact your local estate agent offices in Weston-super-Mare, Portishead or Burnham-on-Sea.
