Getting your Property Ready to Sell

Getting your Property Ready to Sell

Selling a home can be an overwhelming task, but with the right preparation, it can be a successful and smooth process. Here are some key steps to take to ensure your home is ready to sell.

  1. Clean and declutter: Clean every room of your home and remove any clutter. This will create a more inviting atmosphere, making it easier for potential buyers to imagine themselves living in the home.
  2. Make repairs: Take care of any minor repairs that need attention, such as replacing cracked tiles or fixing a leaky tap. This will show potential buyers that the home is well cared for.
  3. Update the paint: A fresh coat of paint will make the home look more updated and attractive. Consider neutral colours that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.
  4. Stage the home: Staging the home with furniture, artwork, and other accessories will give potential buyers a better sense of how the rooms can be used.

By following these steps, you can get your house ready to sell in no time and this will help to achieve the best price for your property too.

If you want to move in 2026, positioning yourself as a serious buyer is essential. Here’s how to put yourself ahead of the competition and be taken seriously by sellers.

A new £2m-plus home surcharge is billed as progressive, but its impact falls mainly on London and the South East, where many owners now face an annual bill from 2028. Critics warn it punishes long-term residents, cools the prime market and deepens regional divides, even as households weigh downsizing. Many fear a new cliff edge at £2m too.

Rents have surged unevenly in recent years, revealing a striking divide shaped by shifting incomes and tenant affordability. While some areas have seen rapid momentum, others have moved more steadily, exposing a complex landscape that reflects economic pressures and evolving demand in communities.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.
