Thinking of moving home? Is the time right?

From the post pandemic property boom to the economic shock of the mini-budget the housing market has certainly been hard to follow in recent years. At Amos Estates we provide helpful, fact driven advice to clients for selling properties in the local area. Come and talk to us.

As experienced estate agents, we know that selling your home can be a daunting experience, especially if you're looking to sell your home quickly. However, with the right preparation, you can ensure that your home is sold in a timely manner and at the right price.

Here's what you need to do to experience a fast, stress free sale:

  1. Set a timeline - The first step to selling your home is to set a timeline. Typically, it takes between 4-6 months to get your home ready for sale, market it, receive offers, and exchange contracts to completion. If you're looking to sell by a specific month, it's important to start the process as soon as possible to ensure that you have enough time to complete all of the necessary steps.
  2. Prepare your home for sale - Before you put your home on the market, it's essential to make sure it's in the best possible condition. This may involve cleaning and decluttering, making repairs, and even renovating to improve its appearance.
  3. Market your home - Once your home is ready for sale, it's time to market it. This may involve professionally photographing it, creating a detailed property listing, and arranging viewings. It's important to make sure that your home is presented in the best possible light, both online and in person, to attract potential buyers.
  4. Receive offers and exchange contracts - After marketing your home, we will start to receive offers from potential buyers. It's important to consider all of the offers carefully, as they will vary in terms of price and terms, something we will negotiate on your behalf. Once you've agreed on a sale, it's then progressing to the exchange of contracts, a legally binding agreement to sell your home.
  5. Why it's important to list now - Selling your home now is important because the market is expected to be very competitive during this period. With more people looking to buy homes, there will be increased demand, which could result in higher prices. By listing your home now, you'll have a head start over other sellers and you'll be able to take advantage of this demand.

Finally, if you're looking to move but haven't yet registered, you can do so with Heads Up Property Alerts. This service allows you to add the streets and areas you want to live in and be notified before they appear on Rightmove. By using this service, you can ensure that you're the first to know about new listings in your desired area, giving you a head start over other buyers.

In conclusion, whether you're a first-time seller or an experienced homeowner, I hope this guide has provided you with the information you need to get started.
