Selling your house can be a complex process, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right preparation and professional guidance you can streamline your sale and minimise stress.
Here’s how to get started and what you should have in place if you’re putting your house on the market:
1. Conduct essential repairs and improvements
Address essential repairs and improvements to ensure that your home is in good condition and ready to be sold. Focus on fixing any leaky taps, repairing cracks in walls or tiles, and replacing broken fixtures. These efforts not only make your home more attractive to potential buyers but also increase the chances of achieving a favourable sale price.
2. Name your number
We highly recommend getting multiple valuations of your home before deciding on an estate agent and final list price, ideally no less than two, so you have something to compare against.
Once you have agreed a price to go to market, it is worth then having a number in mind that you’d be prepared to accept an offer on. Making this decision when you’re not in the thick of viewings and the emotional rollercoaster that can be selling a house, can be hugely beneficial.
3. Choose the right conveyancer
Selling and/or buying a house is one of the biggest legal transactions you will engage in in your life, as such once you’ve accepted an offer, selecting the right conveyancer is imperative. A knowledgeable conveyancer helps navigate the legal intricacies of the sale, ensuring all documents are properly handled and potential issues are resolved quickly.
Axis Professional pride ourselves on providing our customers with consistent clear communication, expert advice, and swift action, minimising stress and delays and enhancing the likelihood of a smooth and successful transaction.
4. Organise Your Documents
There’s no escaping that the first part of selling a home is admin heavy. Getting your paperwork in order as early in the selling process as possible will save you time later down the line and increase the likelihood of your sale going through at a good pace.
As soon as you have accepted an offer, ideally you want to be in a position to supply your conveyancer with all of the key paperwork required, including; ID documents, proof of funds, mortgage offer,
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), guarantees and warranties for anything in the house that is going to remain and a service history for the boiler.
5. Plan Your Move
Begin early, sorting through your belongings and deciding what to keep, sell, or donate from the minute your house goes on the market. This way, when it gets close to the moving date you’re only taking things you really want to your new home. We’d also reach out to several removal companies to find the right one for you, then as soon as the date is confirmed you can get on the phone to your preferred supplier – just be sure not to book anything until your completion date is confirmed by your conveyancer.
