If you’re planning to put your home on the market in the next few months, a little preparation now can make a big difference when it comes time to sell. From presentation tips to paperwork, here’s our guide to getting ahead of the game.

If you’re hoping to move in the first half of 2026, now’s the time to start thinking ahead. The property market might feel quieter as we head into winter, but getting your timing right over the next few months could be the difference between moving in spring or waiting until summer.

Selling your home in winter might seem like a challenge — shorter days, unpredictable weather, and fewer daylight hours for viewings. But with the right preparation, your property can shine just as brightly as in any other season. In fact, winter sellers often benefit from less competition and more motivated buyers.

When it comes to selling your home, viewings are where the magic happens. You can have beautiful photos, the right price, and a great location — but how a property feels when someone steps inside often seals the deal.
