Top five tips for sellers

To help home owners,[ESTATE AGENT] sharessometop tips toachieve the best price for their home and secure a quicker sale:

  • Be legally prepared - Make sure that all your legal documentation is ready early in the process. You can start by ordering your legally required Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) without delay to speed up the sale
  • Don’t forget kerb appeal -Ensure your home has kerb appeal by tidying any outside areas as this is the first part of your property that potential buyers will see
  • First impressions count - Make sureyour home is as visually attractive as possible. De-clutter to allow potential buyers to see your home to its full potential
  • Be helpful–It is customary for estate agents to show potential buyers around a property as this helps them view it as their own and will feel free to discuss any pitfalls away from the owner.However, prospective buyers will have lots of questions about the houseand being presentduring viewingscan be a real deal maker for home owners whowill be able to answer any questions about their property
