Need to sell your home by Summer?

When you come to selling your home you often have a 'deadline' in mind. Whether that's a certain date, around school terms or even seasons. If you're goal is to be sold by Summer then look no further. Here's our tips for how to get your home sold by Summer.

Tips Get Your Home Sold By Summer


1 - Instruct Alexanders

The number one way to get your home sold is to appoint a good, experienced agent that you trust. Someone that understands what you want from the sale of your home and will work hard to get your home marketed and sold to the most motivated buyer.
At Alexander's we use a Heads Up Alerts system for our buyers. Genuine, motivated buyers register their interest and tell us exactly what they are looking for and the system matches them to the properties they want to see before they go out to Zoopla and OnTheMarket.

2 - Choose Your Solicitor In Good Time

Instructing a conveyancing solicitor early and pulling together paperwork they are likely to ask for during the sale makes all the difference and can speed up the enquiries by weeks.

3 - Get Your Home Ready

If there are any obvious issues with your property that are likely to come up on survey and cause delays, consider getting the work done before marketing the property.
After a long cold winter, the early spring flowers are finally shooting up from the ground. But as gardens begin to 'spring' back to life, things can start to look a bit untidy. Now is the perfect time to get out into the fresh air. Tackle those jobs in the garden ahead of the warmer weather. 

4 - Listen To Your Agent's Advice

Remember that you're paying your estate agent for their experience in selling houses. Let them take to lead on viewings, deal with any questions from potential purchasers and when it gets to the negotiation stage keep in mind that they work for you and will be working to get you the best deal.

5 - Choose The Right Buyer

Everyone wants the most money for their home but the best buyer isn't always the highest offer. If you're looking to move quickly you want the most motivated buyer, someone on the same page and working to the same timescales as you are. A chain free buyer, someone that isn't relying on selling their home to be able to buy yours usually means less complications.
