Top Tips for selling your Home in 2023

If you re thinking of putting your home on the market in 2023, Here are some tips to help get you moving:

1.De-Clutter - The biggest reason people give for moving house is lack of space in their current house. They feel they have outgrown the space. They are therefore looking for a home that gives them that space, and more to grow into.
If they come to your home and see that you are running out of space, its the biggest turnoff you could give.
Also, decorate if you need to, neutral colours of course. If carpets are looking tired replace them. Present your home to the best it can be.

2.Lighting - Make sure you have the correct lighting for viewings. On a dull day make sure you turn on a lamp or 2 or the main lights. Make sure every light is working.
Did you know if you swap old halogen lights for LED fittings they use 80% less energy for the same amount of light.
This will also save on your energy bills which you can demonstrate to a potential buyer.

3.First Impressions Count! - Make sure the outside of your house is looking its best.
Repaint the door if needed, sweep up any leaves or debris and mow the lawn.

4.Be competitive - Once you have decided to sell, make sure you agree on an attractive asking price for your property. This will result in more buyers interested in your property which can lead to multiple offers.
Yo may end up achieving a higher price for your property.

Property markets are powered by confidence, and with mortgage rates easing and lenders competing again, sentiment is shifting. That change in mood is starting to matter.

This map highlights the average size of homes sold across the UK since 2020, measured in square feet from completed sales. What stands out is how little the averages vary between regions, despite very different housing types. Northern Ireland is the clear exception, with noticeably larger homes on average.

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.

This data shows a clear north–south split in UK housing supply. Homes for sale are rising across London and the South, while much of the North is seeing stock fall. The contrast raises questions about affordability, confidence, and whether higher supply in the South could limit house price growth into 2026.
