Planning to sell your house and relocate? There isn't any quick offer in sight. Is there also a credit crunch that's bothering you? Read on to find out how you can sell your house quickly in such a market.
Here are a few tips to help you clinch a great deal in selling your house:
1] Get in touch with your solicitor and figure out your mortgage and finances. This will help you to proceed smoothly once you have an offer.
2] Get a valuation of your house done by an estate agent. This will give you an idea about how much your house is worth.
3] Get the house sale-ready. Reorganize the furniture of the house to make it look spacious, declutter, do the basic repairs etc. To put it in simple words, tidy up your house.
4] First impression is of utmost importance. Therefore it is advisable that you make the house look impressive. For instance, check that the house number is visible. Ensure that the front view of the house is appealing.
5] Research the local property market. Once the valuation of your property is done, conduct a research in the local market for similar properties in the vicinity with the help of your agent. Compare the price of the properties on sale. If you offer a competitive price, your house might get more viewers and a quicker sale.
6] It might be difficult to resist temptation if certain agent offers your house highest valuation. There is no guarantee that they will get the price that they quote you now. It would be wiser to compare fees of different agents, check testimonials and contract. Also remember to read the fine prints of the contract paper before signing on the dotted lines.
7] It's natural to look for the best price for your house. However, if it is not rightly priced or is over-priced, it would not attract the kind of offers that you would ideally want. Take the help of your agent to put the right price on your house.
