Thinking of Selling in the Next 3–6 Months? Here’s What You Need to Know

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.

1. Get a Current Valuation

Markets move quickly. Even if you had a valuation a year or two ago, it’s worth getting an updated one. This gives you a realistic idea of what your property could achieve today and helps you plan your next move.

2. Declutter and Refresh

First impressions matter. Decluttering, touching up paintwork and making small repairs can dramatically improve how your home looks to buyers. Consider freshening up kerb appeal too — tidy gardens and clean windows go a long way.

3. Gather Your Paperwork Early

Dig out title deeds, planning permissions, warranties, energy performance certificates (EPC) and any other relevant documents now. Having everything ready speeds up the sales process and reassures buyers.

4. Think About Timing

Spring and early summer are traditionally busy times, but local factors matter more than myths. Talk to your estate agent about the best time to launch your property to the market based on demand in your area.

5. Plan Your Marketing

Quality photography, floorplans, drone shots and virtual tours can help your property stand out online. Ask your agent how they’ll showcase your home to the widest audience.

6. Choose the Right Agent

An experienced local agent can guide you through pricing, presentation, and negotiations. Look for someone who communicates well and has a strong track record in your area.

7. Be Ready for Viewings

Once your home is live, interest can build quickly. Have a plan for keeping it tidy, accommodating viewings, and responding to feedback.

The takeaway: By preparing now, you’ll not only attract more buyers but also move through the sale more smoothly and with less stress.
