7 things you need to know when selling your home

Selling your home can be an extremely stressful experience unless you take the right steps. Everything from finding the right buyer to getting the house ready to sell and finding the right estate agent can all offer their own unique challenges and difficulties. But what are the secrets to selling your house quickly and for a good price?

1. Find the right estate agent

One of the best tips for selling your home quickly in the UK is to find the right estate agent for you. But what is an estate agent responsible for? They take charge of everything from advertising your house to showing it to potential buyers and aiding in the negotiation process. It is a good idea to use a local agent who will have detailed knowledge of the local area.

2. Finish those D.I.Y projects

Everyone has home improvement projects they have been putting off, but before you sell your home it’s vital that you get these finished in order to show your home at its best and help sell your house fast.

3. Valuation

The valuation of your home is perhaps one of the most important steps in the selling process, and it is common for people to feel personally slighted if the valuation is lower than they expect. A local estate agent will likely give you the most accurate estimate.

4. Be aware of hidden charges

Selling your home can be an expensive process, and there can be some hidden charges. Most people forget that electricity and utility bills still need to be paid right up until you sign the house over to the new owners, so it’s important to keep these in mind.

5. Find the right conveyancer

A conveyancer is a lawyer/solicitor who specialises in housing law. They handle everything from the paperwork, land registry, and the actual transfer of money between buyer and seller. Estate agents often recommend their own preferred conveyancer.

6. Keep in mind the wider market

External factors can have a significant impact on the price of your house and the number of potential buyers. This can be everything from local construction to the state of the housing market or how many houses are for sale in your area.

7. Be prepared for the emotional issues

Often, amongst all the financial processes, people can forget that selling your house can be an extremely emotional experience and it’s important to keep this in mind throughout the process.
