Even though home sales have dropped by nearly 40% in the UK in September, there is no need to lose hope for finding a buyer for your property.
In order for the offers to flood in, you should take a few steps to ensure a fast and efficient sale.
Make paperwork a priority
One of the leading causes of a sale falling through is that the seller does not provide the necessary documentation at the conveyancing stage. This could be because they’ve either lost it or never received it in the first place.
You should double-check you have the appropriate paperwork before attempting to sell your house.
These essential documents include land registry documents, the property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), a CERTAS or FENSA certificate if you have previously replaced your windows, and planning permission and building regulations certificates if you’ve extended.
Fill your indoor space with natural light
Space is one of the most sought after attributes of a home to a modern buyer. You can make your space seem larger by allowing sunlight to filter in.
Before a house viewing, ensure your windows are sparkling clean, so natural light is maximised. Well-placed mirrors can also play their part in reflecting light inside.
Make your space feel roomier by implementing light colour schemes, freeing windowsills from clutter, making sure light fixtures are working properly and downsizing your furniture to create extra space. In addition, installing a large sliding glass door or a skylight will help to make your rooms feel more spacious.
Attract eyes to your home with your windows
In a recent survey conducted by The HomeOwners Alliance, 71% of respondents said that “windows in a good condition (no signs of rot or flaking paint)” was the most important home feature in terms of kerb appeal.
If confidence in your windows is wavering, consider upgrading your windows to make the best impression on potential buyers.
By upgrading to our UPVC or aluminium windows, you will never have to worry about flaking paint or rotting.
