Sherko's Essential Tips for Selling Your Property

Selling your property can be a significant step, and with the right approach, it can also be a smooth and successful process.

Essential Tips for Selling Your Property


As your local Oxford estate agent, I have extensive experience with selling homes in Oxford and the surrounding areas. Here are my key tips to help you prepare and present your home effectively.

First Impressions Matter


The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see. Ensure your garden is well-kept, the paint is fresh, and any repairs are handled. A tidy, welcoming entrance can set a positive tone for the rest of the viewing.

Declutter


To help buyers envision themselves living in your space, clear out the clutter and remove personal photos and memorabilia. Creating a neutral, inviting environment allows buyers to imagine their own belongings in your home.

Stage Your Home


Consider staging your home to highlight its best features. Simple touches like fresh flowers, new cushions, and a clean, bright look can make your property more appealing. Think about the flow of the space and how each room can be presented in its best light.

Set the Right Price


Setting the right price is crucial. An overpriced property can linger on the market, while underpricing might lead to a quick sale but not necessarily the best return on your investment. Work with your estate agent to set a competitive price based on current market conditions and comparable properties in your area.

Professional Photography


High-quality photos are essential in today’s market. Most buyers start their search online, so having professional, well-lit images can make a significant difference in attracting potential buyers. Showcasing your property at its best can lead to more interest and viewings.

Be Flexible with Viewings


Finally, be flexible with viewing times. Potential buyers might have busy schedules, so accommodating evening and weekend viewings can make your property more accessible and increase the chances of a sale.

If you listened to the doom merchants, you would think first-time buyers (FTB) in Stevenage had no chance at all. According to the loudest voices, buying a first home is impossible, the ladder has been pulled up, and the only people who buy their first homes today are lottery winners or those with wealthy parents.

The Budget brought no changes for everyday home movers: no new Stamp Duty, no new rules and no impact on the process. Local markets remain steady with strong buyer demand, and lenders are offering higher borrowing power with lower rates. It’s a great time to move.

We’re hearing from buyers across the board who have what we’re calling the “budget scaries” – a mix of uncertainty, financial caution, and a slight case of “wait and see” syndrome.
