Canterbury House For Sale By Owner 🏡

Deciding to sell your UK home independently without an agent can save on commission costs, but does require more hands-on work. Here are some keys to success when taking the ‘For Sale By Owner’ route: Thoroughly research prices of recently sold comparable properties online to set a realistic asking price. Consider voluntary price reductions if no early interest emerges based on market conditions and demand. Give your home a ‘kerb appeal’ refresh with any repairs, pressure washing or fresh paint inside and out. De-clutter interiors and de-personalize rooms to allow buyers to envision living there. Organize space for efficient viewings. Professionally photograph all rooms including outdoor spaces with daylight images to market your property effectively online. Use consistent hashtags for location and property type across classifieds like it.  Host viewings yourself on weekends when prospective buyers are most available. Provide fact sheets with neighborhood and property details. Allow enough time for thorough looks without pressure to decide on the spot. Gather crucial paperwork like title deeds, EPC rating information, warranties and reports for buyers to review. Have contracts, local planning guidance and seller disclosure forms ready to facilitate offers. Remain neutral and fact-based in any negotiations. Consider setting a closing timeframe of 4-6 weeks to pressure buyers into final decisions efficiently. Use an accredited conveyancing solicitor to legally complete the transaction. With the savvy application of time and know-how, determined owners can gain the returns due from moving forward independently rather than via the agent route. Keep optimizing the marketing as time goes on if an initial sale is not immediate.
