3 Things To Consider Before Selling Your Home In 2019

The New Year can mean a new start and many people may look to making a big life change like moving home or selling their property. There a variety of factors to consider in this process. Take a look at some of the considerations you should make before putting your home on the market.

1. Is Your Home Prepared For Sale?

You’ll need to market your property desirably and prepare for home viewings. Making your home appealing for potential buyers can dramatically increase the interest in your home. It’s worth considering painting, tidying and general housekeeping to prepare your property for sale. Make sure the photos for the marketing of your property are taken professionally, and make the most of the space available.

2. Have You Got A Professional Consultants Certificate?

A professional consultants certificate is a vital part of securing a mortgage if your building is newly built (under 10-years old). If you wish to sell your property and your purchaser needs a mortgage then the mortgage lenders will need to see a Professional Consultants Certificate or a warranty before they release the funds. A PCC is desirable to many homeowners because it’s cost-effective and quick to implement. To find out more about getting your Professional Consultants Certificate, read here.

3. Is Your House Valued Correctly?

Your estate agent should be able to give you an estimate of your property’s value, but because these can differ between agents it’s worth having a few agencies view your home before deciding on which one to go with. You can also look into estimates yourself, by researching similar properties on the market, how much your neighbours’ properties have sold far, local statistics such as crime and health rates, local amenities and more.
