How to achieve your asking price...

Question - Should we market our home at a higher price and accept offers?

Here's the answer...


I've never been one to hide away from a challenge but the marketing price of a property is the most important part to get right. I'm sure you have heard the saying “You have one chance to make the best first impression” it's the same when considering the marketing price of your home.

Having lived and worked in Wokingham for many years I have my finger on the pulse to know whats happening in the local market, this allows me to be as specific as I can be when considering the right price. I know that if a property remains unsold for the first 28 days of marketing generally its one of a few things which are wrong.

  • The marketing
  • The advertising
  • The agent
  • The price

We often fall on the excuse of the first three, and whilst that can sometimes be the case it is most commonly the price which is wrong in the first instance.

Agents who are targeted based on instruction numbers will often say a price to win the business even though they don't believe it, just to tell their bosses they’ve won an instruction. It's a way to entice you onto the market with the view to accept offers, is that right thing to do? You all know someone that it's happened to?

I have always said that I'd prefer to have multiple buyers through the door at the right price than one at a higher price. More viewers = More offers = The best sale price

It is a shame, but it is a fact, that thousands of people in England Google to learn whether estate agents can get away with lying about property offers. We think this is crazy (and sad) at Avocado Property! So, in this blog we will breakdown what you need to know to protect yourself.

There was some important small print in this year’s budget that has largely gone unnoticed. The 2% hike in stamp duty rates for people purchasing a second property was in most of the headlines but what was not was the temporary stamp duty cuts not being extended beyond March 31st next year. Watch the video to see my full breakdown of the impacts.
