Checklist for selling your home
Moving home can be a stressful time. There are many factors to consider, particularly if you are selling a home as well as buying a new one. Here is a handy checklist of things to help the transition run as smoothly as possible.
Get Your Property Valued
This first step is essential. You need to know what your current property is worth. Speak to Kallars and we can do this for you for free. They will give an honest appraisal based on current market trends.
Review Your Cash Flow
There will be fees and costs that will be incurred as part of buying and selling. Some of these will need to be paid upfront before you get the money for your property, so it is important to have your finances clear from the outset.
Select Your Estate Agent
There are a large number of agencies around these days, including some with no physical presence and some cheaper than others. All of them will have different fees for buying and selling so it is worth doing your research before you sign up. Make sure that you are happy that your property will be marketed in the right way. Ultimately you want the property to sell, so the agent you choose should not be based solely on their fees.
Show Off the Best Features Of Your Home
It is important that when you are trying to sell your property you show it in its best light. This may mean that you have to make compromises to how you live in the meantime. Things such as removing clutter and redecorating rooms with more neutral colours to give your home the ‘blank canvas’ look that buyers prefer. Ensuring your property is clean, bright and airy will help any potential buyers envisage themselves living there.
Choose a Solicitor
You must choose the correct solicitor to suit your requirements. Kallars can recommend the services of a solicitor who you be assured will answer calls, respond to emails and more importantly, get your sale through with minimal stress and discomfort.
Evaluate Offers Carefully – Ask for our advice
Discussing any offers with your agent to get the best advice and the highest price is crucial. At Kallars, we build relationships with our clients. From the very first phone call from an applicant, we are looking to get you the best price offered for your property.
