Sections:

4. Estimate Costs
5. Appearance/Refurbishments
6. Advertise/Viewings
7. Negotiating/Accepting an offer
8. Conveyancing

2. When to Sell

• Preferably, sell your house when demand is high and therefore the market is strong
• Keep an eye on the property market so that you can time your sale properly
• Follow up similar properties to get an idea of how much they're selling for
• The market's usually stronger in early and late summer
• Low interest rates tend to make people more likely to get into mortgage agreements and so might help your sale
• Check your neighbourhood. If everybody else is selling, you face strong competition, which means you might be better off waiting
• If you're part of a chain (selling to buy a new one), put your property up for sale before you start looking for a new property. This will help you time your buying process better, speeding it up, and will also give you an idea of the price range you can afford for your new property.
