Did you know that house sales fell by almost 40% during the month of September? Coupled with the fact that Nationwide has forecasted a 8-10% decrease in house prices in 2023, it’s a tough time to sell your home.
However, don’t lose all hope! We have compiled three ways to make your house desirable for buyers so that the sale will go through quickly.
Get essential paperwork in order
In any situation, selling your home is undeniably a stressful time and therefore it’s important it goes as smoothly as possible. Before placing your house on the market, you should ensure you get your paperwork in order.
Too many house sales are delayed or fall through because the seller can’t provide the necessary paperwork in a timely manner.
The essential paperwork includes land registry documents and your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). You should also locate a FENSA or CERTASS certificate if you have carried out any window replacements in the years you have lived there and planning permission and building regulations certificates if you have extended your property.
Make your home interior light
Most buyers that are looking to purchase a home value space. You can create an open, spacious feel in your home by adding more light to your house.
Investing in more mirrors will reflect light into your rooms and you should also make sure your windows are regularly cleaned, as this will welcome more natural light inside.
Other ways to create an illusion of more space is to adopt a light colour scheme, fix broken light fittings and free up floor space by downsizing your furniture. Many homeowners have also chosen to invest in a skylight, bi-folding doors or patio doors.
