Things Not to Do When Selling your Home

Thinking of finally selling your home in the UK? Selling a home is a major life milestone, and it can be complex as multiple steps are involved. There could be different reasons to sell your home based on one’s circumstances. If you are someone who is selling their home for the first time then there must be lots of questions in your mind.

By now, you must've searched for “tips for selling houses in the UK” or “selling your home in the UK”. A lot of people or online resources must've helped you in suggesting what to “do” when thinking of selling your home, we have jotted down a list of things that should not do when selling your home:

Selling in Winter Months

Some months are considered as off-season months for businesses and we suggest you sell your house in peak business months to get a better response. Winter, specifically around the holiday season is slower for businesses and selling your house during that time can cause delays. People are mostly either travelling or taking time off to just relax and enjoy which makes it a difficult time to sell properties. Hence we suggest waiting out a bit and looking for sellers once the weather is a bit moderate.

Setting an Unrealistic Price

Setting an appropriate price for your house is really important. Sure, your house is worth a high price but you need to be realistic while setting a price. Consider other houses that are listed to be sold and compare the properties to yours. What makes your property worth more than others? Is your’s a newly built property? Is it in a better location than others?

Overpricing a property is one of the most common mistakes people make hence it is advised to take a professional look at pricing.

Considering the Highest Offer Only

You're done with putting your property on the market and have started receiving multiple offers. Now, naturally, you would be more inclined towards the highest paying offers. But the highest offer isn't always the best offer, you must be aware of the contingencies.

There are a lot of conditions and contingencies that have to be met at times and are in favour of the buyer. Hence, you must be careful when considering the offers and consider the one that’s more favourable to you.

Don’t Skimp on Marketing Costs

Selling and buying properties is somewhat expensive. Exposing your property to a far-fetched audience can help you attract better results. The more people see your audience the better it is for you to get a good buyer.

You must not skimp on marketing-related costs involved in getting your property out there. You will have to spend a bit of money initially to get great results.
