Our Top Tips for Selling Your Home Before Easter
As we head towards Spring the lighter evenings and warmer days are great for lifting our spirits, but do you know what's even better? Getting your home sold before you sit down to tuck into Easter Dinner. These are our 5 top tips for how to get your home sold before Easter.
Tips Get Your Home Sold Quickly
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.
Dressing your home for photos and viewings is vital too, keeping it today and looking it's best. In the winter months you can use lamp candles and mirrors to brighten darker rooms up. As spring approaches it's a good opportunity to use those lighter evenings and warmer days to give the garden a spruce up, first impressions always count.
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.
