Considering selling your property on the open market? Here are some tips from MPG…

Recent statistics show that it is becoming increasingly difficult for homeowners to sell their homes due to the UK’s uncertain property market. According to Housing Finance, “The total number of homeowners has broadly stagnated since 2005.” The reasons for this trend are manifold; we look at two of the primary ones below:

• The first reason concerns the tendency of estate agents to supply inaccurate – or more precisely, inflated – home valuation reports. London homebuyers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the trend of overvaluation, and thus know when to turn down an unrealistic asking price. The homeowner, on the other hand, is set up for a fall right from the beginning of the selling process: Initially, they are filled with hope at the prospects of receiving such a good price for their home. However, this emotion soon morphs into frustration and anger as their house remains unsold.
  
  
• Secondly, there is the issue of Home Information Packs (HIPs). New UK property legislation compels every home seller to acquire all the necessary official documents that constitute an HIP before they are legally permitted to sell. Costing up to £1,000, the problem is manifest in the form of expense, stress and delay.

Cost-effective ways to boost the likelihood of a fast lucrative sale

If you are looking to sell your home on the open property market, you should know that first impressions and a range of emotional factors are highly influential in the selling process. See below for easy ways to drastically increase your chances of a profitable sale – at a nominal cost!

Tidy up and clean the house. A good spring clean is a simple and inexpensive task that has the potential to boost your chances of a good sale radically. Think about it: most people are repelled by clutter and dirt, and you should thus do everything in your power to prevent it from affecting the first impressions of prospective buyers. It is also a good idea to mow the lawn, neaten the garden and clean the pool.

Secondly, take some time to assess the condition of the paint on your walls and roof. A simple paintjob could make the world of difference. Peeling paint is also obviously out of the question.

Next, it would stand you in good stead to address issues of mould or broken tiles in the bathroom and rest of the house. Having this taken care of is bound to create a better impression.

Lastly, fix any broken fixtures, and then carefully consider your colour scheme. Studies have shown that people respond well to certain colour combinations, while other colours could act as a subconscious repellent. Do yourself a favour and pay some attention to your home’s colour scheme – you could even consult a professional – and you will be surprised to see just how effective it can be!
