Selling Your House?

How much is it worth?

Determining the value of a house involves a complex interplay of various factors. Key elements include location, size, age, condition, and recent market trends. Other considerations might include the quality of local schools, proximity to amenities, and neighborhood safety. Professional appraisals, real estate agent evaluations, and comparative market analysis (CMA) are essential tools in accurately assessing a property's worth. For a precise valuation, consulting with real estate experts and utilizing online valuation tools can provide comprehensive insights tailored to your specific property.

What agent should we use?

If you decide to use an agent, choose a local independent one and ask them the following questions:

• How many properties similar to yours have they sold in the last six months?

• How many of these properties were sold at or above the asking price?

• What was the average duration for these transactions to be completed?

• How many sales have fallen through during this period?

• These questions will help you understand their conversion rates and overall effectiveness.

Do we need to complete any work to help the sale?

Be cautious about undertaking work yourself, as what you believe adds value might be something others would prefer to change. If you decide to tackle larger projects to increase value, ensure you hire a professional. Rest assured, we are happy to manage any necessary work, so there's no need to worry about making improvements to aid the sale.

What solicitor should we use?

Selling your home can be an unnerving experience, so we suggest finding a local conveyancing solicitor to help you navigate the process and understand what to expect along the way. We have a network of solicitors we can refer you to, and in some cases, we will cover your solicitor fees* for you.

How long will it take?

Selling your home can be a time-consuming process, with the average transaction currently taking between 3-6 months. Most buyers are families purchasing a new home, which is a significant event, and they need to be confident that everything is perfect. It is possible to speed up the process, but to do so, you may need to accept a few compromises by selling through a property professional.
