How To Sell Your Property In A Difficult Market
Did you know the number of properties sold in the UK dropped by nearly 40% in September? That, coupled with Nationwide’s forecast of a 8-10% drop in house prices next year, makes it a complicated time to put your house on the market.
However, there’s no need to give up your hopes of selling your home in the next few months. The key to making a sale is to make your property desirable to buyers and West Yorkshire Windows can support you with that.
Get important paperwork in order
One of the top reasons for a house sale falling through or being delayed is because the homeowner does not have the essential paperwork to hand. This could be because they lost it or simply never received it.
To ensure a smooth process for all involved, locate all the paperwork you need before you put your property on the market.
These important documents will likely include land registry documents, the property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), a CERTASS certificate for any window replacement you’ve had done, and planning permission and building regulations certificates if you have extended.
Generate lots of light inside
One of the top reasons people choose to move house is because they are in need of additional space. You can make your own property feel more spacious by creating a light-filled space.
Ensure your windows are cleaned before any house viewings so the maximum amount of sun can get through the glazing. You can also strategically place mirrors to reflect more light into the rooms.
Avoid darker colour schemes – go for light and airy colours, ensure all light fittings are fixed and remove anything that is blocking light from your windows. In addition, you could also get a skylight, bi-folding doors or some other large sliding door installed.
Ensure your windows are up to scratch
The HomeOwners Alliance carried out a survey that asked individuals what is the most crucial kerb appeal feature of properties, in their opinion. With over 70% of the vote, “Windows in good condition (no signs of rot or flaking paint)” was the overwhelming response.
Take a moment to look at your current windows. If they look past their best, it could be worth choosing to upgrade them if you are serious about selling your home.
