Thinking about selling your property, but aren’t in a rush to do so? Whether you plan to sell in 6 months, one year or longer it can pay to start thinking about your sale now so you aren’t rushing around doing everything at the last minute. Being prepared can help make your sale much easier and it may help your property achieve a higher selling price too.
Research the local market
Find out everything you can about your local property market. Is there a time of year where property prices peak? Or maybe there are predictions of significant price growth in the future. It’s also a good idea to research the area you might be thinking of moving into, as you don’t want to move at a time when property prices or rentals will be competitive.
Talk to a real estate expert
Even if you don’t plan on selling immediately, a real estate agent can offer you invaluable advice about your property that can put you on the right track when it comes to things like renovations or the best time of year to sell.
Get your garden ready
Mature gardens are often an attractive feature of a home but they do take time. Plan out your ideal garden now and plant trees or shrubs that will be in bloom in the season you plan on selling in.
Plan out property improvements
The sooner you can get started on any property improvements the better. Figure out whether you want to paint, add any extensions or refresh bathrooms or kitchens. Building work can take time so it’s best to get started early to allow yourself plenty of time to finish everything you want to. While you may not plan on selling until a distant date in the future, it’s best to have a long-term plan in place so you can make the most out of what is likely your biggest financial asset.
