Selling your home can be stressful, emotional and time-consuming. You might need to complete a few renovations to improve the value of the property. You might need an agent to help you sell the home and a conveyancing solicitor for the legal side of things. You will often end up spending money on your property before you can make money from it. Selling a home is not an easy task, and you need to be prepared for the challenges ahead.
Here are a few tips to help you sell your property.
Get a professional
You can sell your home by yourself. You can set a reasonable sale price and do some market research. However, an agent will take a huge amount of work off your shoulders and probably make a much better sale. They can interact with potential buyers, find a great offer for the property and navigate any problems. The only downside is that an agent usually takes a 5% commission on the sale price of your home.
Don’t get emotional
If you are selling your family home, you are likely to be emotional. You might have raised your children on the property, and there are countless memories attached to each room. It’s important to take your time with the decision to sell. Think it through and identify the reasons why you are moving house. You can look back at this list of reasons when you start to feel emotional about selling up.
From a business point, you need to keep emotions out of the equation. Once you start to sell your home, you need to remember that you are no longer the homeowner. You are handling a business transaction and finding a new home to live in.
Prepare for the sale
Your home should look its best for the selling process. You need to deep clean the property and target the areas you would usually forget. Clean on top of the wardrobes, behind the bed and around the skirting boards. Stage your home with new decorations, like fresh flowers and neutral soft furnishings. You need to make your home look like a blank canvas. Potential buyers need to imagine themselves living here. They probably don’t need to see your questionable throw pillows or family photos.
Hire a conveyancing solicitor
There is a lot of paperwork behind selling a house. A conveyancing solicitor can offer you legal advice, transfer title deeds and arrange searches. They are a fully qualified solicitor who specializes in the conveyancing process. Of course, there is an added cost for hiring another professional. However, a conveyancing solicitor can handle any legal problems with the property and make the sale much smoother.
