How Can I Sell My House Fast?

The following advice for sellers is from Yorkshire Property Deals and should help you to sell property quickly:

(1) Choose Your Target Market
Who do you think is likely to buy your property? Is it for the student buy-to-let market, young professionals, families or the elderly? This will depend on the area and the type of house. Once you have chosen your target market, you should tailor the space accordingly, without excluding other groups.

(2) Remove Personal Clutter
Removing a lot of the clutter in your home and giving it a thorough clean will make it look bigger and fresher, allowing buyers to see the potential. You should also remove all your personal items such as family photographs, so that buyers can imagine themselves in the house rather than think of it as your home.

(4) Clean and Fresh
A new coat of paint, shampooing carpets, temporarily re-housing pets, cleaning the oven until it is gleaming, and scrubbing tile grout are all things you can do to freshen the house up, get rid of any lingering odours (which you may no longer notice) and give your house a bit of sparkle. Your house should be spotlessly clean when buyers come to view. Putting fresh flowers in every room and brewing coffee before a viewing can also help to give the place a scented lift.

(5) Find an Agent
While it is a good idea to get 3 agents to value your property, it is often cheaper to sell through just one agency. Remember that the one who gives the highest valuation is not necessarily the best one, and is unlikely to be the one who can sell property fast. Choose one who is upfront and realistic for the quickest sale.

(6) Instruct a Solicitor
It is a good idea to instruct a solicitor to do your conveyancing early, to save delays later on. You can ask them to apply for the title deeds and prepare a draft contract while you gather your paperwork and guarantees.
