The prospect of selling a house or commercial site can be a daunting one, especially if you’re keen to sell your property fast for whatever reason and move on to pastures new. But there are ways in which you can facilitate a quick sale so here are a few ideas to help you do just that.
Firstly, think about what information your solicitor may need from you and have it ready before you’re asked for it. This could include anything from window and door certificates to the Energy Performance Certificate of your property, as well as boiler warranties and so on.
Decluttering is also something you should bear in mind. You want people to be able to envisage working in the space themselves so depersonalise it as much as you can and give them a blank slate to work with.
Don’t just think about the inside of your property though, you should also take a good look at the exterior of the property, since this is what people will see first. Keep any outside areas well tended and not overgrown, and keep it as clean and tidy as you can. First impressions count for an awful lot, after all.
The time of year can also have an impact on how quickly your property sells. Spring is usually a good time to put a property on the market but, of course, we’re in lockdown so you may be better off waiting until autumn, as the weather is still likely to be good and there aren’t any big holidays taking place that could mean people are too busy to go on viewings.
