What to expect on the day of the valuation visit, and what to do to prepare...
Arrival
The agent will arrive at the appointed time to perform their market appraisal on your property.
Reason For Selling
Talk the agent through why you’re looking to sell, what you’re looking for, and your plans for the onward move.
How To Show Off
Give the agent a good look around the property and point out any unique or interesting features you feel add value.
Extensions & Planning
Remember to point out any improvements or changes you’ve made to the property. These can add value!
Get To Know Your Agent
Selling your property is a big decision so take your time, ask plenty of questions and get to know each agent. They’re all unique!
Data
The agent will run through some preliminary data with you about your property, its value & the local market.
Ask The Right Questions
How does the agent deal with clients, how will they advertise your property and give you feedback? Ask these questions over a cuppa.
Documentation
To Assist Your Agent
logo
Prior to the valuer’s arrival, it would be really helpful if you could dig out any important documentation you may have about your property. This can include boiler service reports, safety or building work certificates, warranties, planning applications, maintenance contracts, Gas, Electricity & Water Bills and Window/Door Installations.
These are not only important to review when valuing your property but should you decide to place your property on the sales market, they will be required as part of the legal process and the sooner you can provide them, the quicker the sale can complete.
UTILITIES
Utility Bills & Paperwork
These not only serve as a good proof of identity, but can also help potential buyers get an idea of running costs should they decide to make an offer.
INVOICE
Maintenance Contracts
If any appliances require frequent upkeep or someone regularly works on the property (window cleaners, gardeners...) it’s good to let buyers know.
APPLIC A TION
Planning Applications
If you’ve applied for planning permissions in the last few years or you’re aware of your neighbours doing so, it’s important for your agent to know.
SAFETY CE R TIFIC A TE
Certificates & Warranties
It’s important to provide any warranties you have on appliances around the home, as well as certificates for any building work performed on the property.
Advice
Top Tips When Selling
logo
Some recommended steps to best present your property to buyers...
Squeaky Clean
Focus on ‘Kerb Appeal’ to create a great first impression for the buyer. Clean windows, tidy the entranceway and clear pathways.
Fully Functional
Make sure any necessary repairs and maintenance have been completed and everything is in working order.
Out on the Tiles
Your kitchen and bathroom(s) are key rooms for selling your property. Give them some extra love so you can show them off at their best.
A Lick of Paint
Consider redecorating with neutral colours so that the buyer can better imagine how they will personalise the property.
Cut the Clutter
To give the impression of space, store away any furniture and home accessories that are not used regularly.
This One’s Juuuuuust Right
Get the temperature right. Setting the heating at 19-21 degrees C gives the property a comfortable air temperature.
Fresh as a Daisy
Create a homely environment for the viewing with pleasant aromas, lighting and fresh flowers.
Advice
Things to Consider
logo
A few other important things to keep in mind when you’re moving...
Peak Performance
You are required by law to obtain an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when selling. This can be arranged through us or an EPC provider.
100% Proof
Before you go to market, your agent will ask you to provide proof of ID and address under the Money Laundering Regulations Act.
Ahead of the Game
Securing the services of a reputable solicitor / conveyancer before a buyer is found for your property can prevent unecessary delays.
Mind Over Mortgage
If you need a new mortgage for your onward move, consider speaking to an advisor now to get a better idea of what you can afford.
Prime Mover
Now is a good time to start getting storage & removal quotes. We’re happy to recommend companies our clients have good experiences with.
