Thinking of Selling Your Home? 🏡 Here’s How to Get It Right from the Start
Selling your home is a big deal — whether you're moving up, scaling down, or chasing a new adventure ✨, getting everything lined up properly from the start can make the whole process smoother, faster, and far less stressful.
Here are a few key things you can do early on to set yourself up for success (and maybe even enjoy the ride a little along the way! 🚀)
✅ Get Your Solicitor on Board Early
Most people wait until they’ve accepted an offer to instruct a solicitor — but getting them involved from the get-go can save you heaps of time later. Your solicitor will need paperwork like your title deeds 📄, any planning permissions 🏗️, building regulation certificates, and details about any works you’ve had done. Getting this all prepped and ready in advance means you’re less likely to hit hold-ups further down the line. It's a simple win that can help keep your sale moving at full speed ⚡.
✅ Pick the Right Estate Agent (Not Just the Cheapest One) 💼
Choosing an estate agent isn't just about who charges the lowest fee. You want someone who genuinely knows the local market, has a solid track record with homes like yours, and actually puts in the work to get you the best result 🏆. A good agent should offer clear advice, creative marketing (photos 📸, social media 📲, video tours 🎥 – the lot!), and excellent communication so you’re never left wondering what’s going on. Take your time, ask questions, and find someone you trust to guide you through the process.
✅ Make Your Home Irresistible ✨
You don’t need to spend a fortune to get your home ready for buyers — a few simple tweaks can make a big difference. Start with a declutter 🧹 (yes, that includes the junk drawer!), give tired walls a quick refresh with neutral paint 🎨, fix any niggling little issues, and spruce up your front garden or entrance 🌿. It’s all about helping buyers imagine themselves living there. If you can create a space that feels bright, welcoming and well cared for, you’ll stand out from the crowd.
The Bottom Line 💡
Selling your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a bit of planning, the right team, and a little effort to get your home looking its best, you’ll be well on your way to a smooth, stress-free sale 🏡💨. So whether you're chasing your next chapter or just testing the waters, taking these steps early will help you move with confidence — and maybe even enjoy the process a bit more too!
