What do game shows have to do with selling your home?

“Life is a Game” is a quote attributed to Mother Teresa, but it could be applied to property. As with all games, there are winners and losers when it comes to selling or even letting your home. Having a great team plays a part in how successful you are, and a good estate agency on your behalf to help you win.

Be careful for cheap agents or agencies that promise to work with you but can't back it up with evidence and leaves you in a contract that you cannot get out of, making you lose money in the long run.

The Price is Right

Be careful about overvaluing a property! Overvaluing a property will mean it sticks, no matter what the market is doing or if stamp duty / LTT has been put on hold. Pricing it correctly to should get you sold.

Through the Keyhole 

Too many agents rush to get a property on the market, thinking this is the best thing to do. We, on the other hand want to make sure when your home is launched it is ‘spot on’. There is only one chance to make a first impression. If you want to stand out above the rest on Zoopla instead of having buyers just simply scrolling past, then it is worth spending time getting everything in place. 

Make sure you prepare it thoroughly so that people looking at your home on the market will feel like its a place they would love to call home.

Countdown

People buying their main homes in Wales costing less than £250,000 will not pay any tax (LTT Land Transaction Tax - Formally known as Stamp Duty) under temporary measures announced by the Finance Minister until April 2021. Now is the best time to buy and sell, the sooner you market your property the better.

Read this article before you instruct an estate agent to sell your home for you. The cheapest fee or the largest agency are not necessarily the best options for you.

When selling your property, it’s only natural to want to secure the highest possible price. However, when an estate agent suggests a higher listing price than your property’s true market value, this can lead to negative consequences that can actually hurt your sale in the long run.

Choosing a low-fee agent might seem like a great way to save, but it can actually indicate a lack of commitment to achieving the best sale price for your property—if they’re willing to cut their own fees, how hard will they negotiate when it comes to securing top offers for you?
