Selling your Home – FAQ’s

If you’ve never sold a property before there are some key questions you’re bound to have along the way.  Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) to get you started…

How long will it take to sell my home?

On average, we find our properties take between two and six weeks to sell. This does depend on the area you live in, and you should add another two weeks to this for us to prepare your house and for your marketing campaign.

How can I make sure my house appeals to buyers?

A well-presented home usually sells faster, and at a higher price. Start by de-cluttering – put excess belongings and furniture into storage and you’ll make your home look bigger. Tidy up the garden and make sure the front of your home makes the right first impression.

What pre-sale repairs or renovations really pay off?

If a room is dark, look for ways to create more light. Quality taps and door handles can make an immediate impact for little investment, and a fresh coat of paint in a neutral colour gives the impression your home has been well maintained.

Is it really worth paying for a home stylist?

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. Investing a little in making your property look its best usually pays off with a higher sale price – however this is your decision. If your house is empty, it’s a good idea to hire some quality furniture. You’re selling a lifestyle, not just a home.
