Preparing Your Tring Home For Sale In Lockdown

With the Government offering guidance to the housing market that it is free to operate; many people are considering making a move sooner rather than later. Even if you aren’t looking to move in the next few weeks, you might want to use this time to prepare yourself for selling your Tring home.

A joint statement from David Cox, chief executive of ARLA and Mark Hayward, chief executive of NAEA Propertymark reads: “It’s great news for consumers and the industry that the housing market is being opened up and people can let, rent, buy and sell properties again. The new regulations provide clarity to agents and will allow them to deal with pent up demand from consumers. It’s also a step to reinvigorating the housing market and will be a boost to the economy. Safety of course will be paramount, and we would encourage everyone to ensure that they follow Government guidelines closely to protect others and themselves.”

We will assist you in preparing your home for sale

At Harpers, we are pleased to say we have helped many local homeowners in preparing their home for sale and connecting with local buyers. If you have more time at home, and you are looking to prepare yourself for a house sale at some point in the future, we are here to assist you.

Before you focus on your house, consider the following aspects:

·         Review what paperwork you need for the house sale, and ensure you have it in place

·         Review your finances and make sure you are in a suitable position to sell up and move on

·         If you plan on buying somewhere new, make sure you know where and what you are looking for

When you have these aspects figured out, you can start to prepare your home for sale. There are three key areas to focus on:

1.       Declutter your house and carry out repair work to ensure your home is spacious and appealing

2.       Deep-clean your home

3.       Make sure the outside of your home is as appealing as the inside of the property

Make changes which provide short and long-term benefits

If you follow these three steps, you will significantly enhance your chances of selling your home. When you declutter your home, you create short-term benefits. If you have spent a lot of time at home of late, you will be looking for more space. When you declutter your house, you create more space, and this is not just helpful for you, it will make your home more appealing to a prospective buyer.

Also, when you declutter your house, you make it easier to clean. Before you go to home, you should clean your home as thoroughly as you can. Most people are prioritising hygiene at the moment, so again, you will receive short and long-term benefits from making these changes.

We know this is a challenging time, and for many households, the thought of buying or selling property is far from their mind. However, we also know many people are keen to keep themselves entertained, and some people may have property market issues. If we can be of any use to you, please contact Harpers Estates, and we will be more than happy to assist you.
