Getting Ready For Your Sale
Selling your property can be a tricky time, and for many is one of the most stressful moments in their life.
Our homes carry many memories and it can be hard to leave and make the big decision to sell, and even once you have made that decision, going through the process of dealing with viewings, buyers trying to give low offers and then the whole sales process, whilst bitting nails and hoping it all goes through smoothly is never quiet as straight forward and simple as we would like it to be.
But getting your property ready for sale, can be made easy by a bit of forward planning.

Who To Use
So let’s assume you have already looked in to selling your property and have considered private buyers, quick sale house buying companies, auctions or selling via an estate agent, and have chosen to go down the estate agent route
Note: The other options would all achieve a quick sale and a property to be sold in its current condition without any requirement for staging or possible refurbishments.

Pre-Sale Research
So before you sell your property there’s a couple of bits to consider.
The first is understanding how to value your property. There’s a website called Sell House Fast Guide who have created a great tutorial on how to value your property

Once you’ve got your valuation in hand then it’s easier to know if what your estate agent suggests to market the property for is correct or not. It’s very easy to get caught in the trap of going with the agent that offers to market your house for the highest price. But this doesn’t mean the price is achievable, and if you get this part of the sale wrong, you could be tying yourself in to a contract with an agent at a price that will put interested buyers off.
This could cause real problems if you need a fast sale and your not getting any interest because your price is too high.
Getting your own free house valuation, will definitely help further down the line.

Market To Your Target Buyers
Every house or flat will have a potential market. This is somewhat determined by the area as well as the property type, number of rooms and price.
For instance, a one bedroom city centre flat won’t attract family tenants.
Likewise a 3 bedroom semi-detached house in the country is unlikely to be an suitable purchase for a young couple.
So it’s important to understand what your target market is at the beginning of your sale, so when it comes to staging it ready for viewings and a potential buyer, you have the right approach
