Property prices change constantly. When you sell your home, it's crucial that you have an up to date valuation. Arrange for Karl Bennett & Co to provide you with an accurate valuation so that you can be confident of a fair and speedy sale.
When selling your home, it's important to remember that potential buyers' first impressions are crucial.
Follow these checklists to ensure that your home meets the highest standards of presentation, in order to make it as appealing as possible to buyers.
You should always notify your solicitor of any changes to your home, as this may require some paperwork. This can delay the sales process. Taking action as soon as possible will help to eliminate delays.
At Karl Bennett & Co, we can find a buyer for your home and negotiate a price, as well as helping you to find a solicitor to handle the paperwork, contracts and conveyancing.
Conveyancing involves preparation of a contract by the seller's solicitor. This is then examined by the buyer's solicitor before signing. The seller has an obligation to disclose all relevant information about the property, while the buyer is responsible for the state that they purchase the property in.
It's important to give buyers the time and privacy they need to view your home. Additionally, it's a good idea not to follow viewers into rooms, as this can make them seem smaller. You should also end the viewing in the best room in the house, to leave a lasting impression.
Many sellers will try to renegotiate the price at the last moment, for example by trying to leverage a bad inspection or report. This is called gazundering. At Karl Bennett & Co, we have experience of the kinds of strategies to combat this, ensuring that you receive the full value of your home.
