By If you’re thinking of selling your home before the Summer, we’ve outlined what you need to do to make sure you’re ready.
As experienced estate agents in Glasgow & Argyll, we know that selling your home can be a daunting experience, especially with the current cost of living crisis and rising interest rates (albeit mortgage rates are reducing). However, with the right preparation and advice, you can ensure that your home is sold in a timely manner and at the right price.
Here's what you need to do if you're looking to sell your home by summer 2023:
- Set a timeline - The first step to selling your home is to set a timeline. Typically, it takes between 3-6 months to get your home ready for sale, market it, receive offers, and the conveyancing process until completion. If you're looking to sell by summer 2023, it's important to start the process as soon as possible to ensure that you have enough time to complete all of the necessary steps.
- Prepare your home for sale - Before you put your home on the market, it's essential to make sure it's in the best possible condition. This may involve cleaning and decluttering, making repairs, and even renovating to improve its appearance.
- Market your home - Once your home is ready for sale, it's time to market it. This may involve professionally photographing it, HD video and 360 virtual tours, creating a detailed property listing, and arranging viewings. It's important to make sure that your home is presented in the best possible light, both online and in person, to attract potential buyers.
- Receive offers and conveyancing - After marketing your home, we will start to receive offers from potential buyers. It's important to consider all of the offers carefully, as they will vary in terms of price and terms, something we will negotiate on your behalf. Once you've agreed on a sale, the conveyancing starts, progressing to missives being concluded, a legally binding agreement to sell your home.
- Why it's important to list now – Selling your home by summer 2023 is important because the market conditions currently remain very competitive. A lack of available properties for sale, coupled with an increase in buyer demand since mortgage rates stabilised, is keeping values and sale figures at record levels. By listing your home now, you'll have a head start over other sellers and you'll be able to take advantage of this demand.
Finally, if you're looking to move but haven't yet registered, you can do so with Heads Up Property Alerts.
