Getting your home ready for sale: make the most of every viewing
Practical improvements, the right documents and a strong presentation for a smoother sale.
7 min read
A good sale starts with the right documents and a realistic price. Gather the EPC, electrical inspection report, soil certificate, plans and planning information in good time.
Fix minor defects, declutter and make the most of light and space. Buyers need to grasp the layout and the potential quickly.
Professional photos, a clear floor plan and a complete description attract better buyers and mean fewer wasted viewings.
Schedule viewings when there is good daylight and prepare answers about energy, renovations, the neighbourhood, transport links and monthly costs.
Compare estate agents on local knowledge, approach, reporting, quality of presentation and terms, not just on commission.
