In September, the number of homes successfully sold dropped by almost 40%, indicating that it is a tough market for those homeowners wanting to sell their property. Nationwide has also forecasted a 8-10% drop in house prices for 2023.
Fortunately, there are some things you can do to drum up demand for your property if you are looking to sell in the next few months. Eden Windows has you covered with tips to make your home more sellable.
Gather essential paperwork
One of the biggest causes of house sales being held up is because the seller does not have the relevant paperwork at the conveyancing point.
It is important to make sure you have all the correct paperwork in order once you decide to sell your property.
These documents include land registry documents, the property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), a FENSA or CERTASS certificate for any window replacement you’ve had installed, and if you’ve extended, you’ll need planning permission and building regulations certificates.
Create a light-filled interior
If your home feels too cramped, it will likely put off potential buyers. You can make your home feel more spacious by generating light inside your home.
This can be achieved by adding more mirrors to reflect light, cleaning your windows to invite more sunshine inside and a number of other simple ways.
We recommend you opt for a light colour scheme in your home, incorporate more light fittings and downsize your furniture to increase floor space. Large bi-folding or patio doors will also welcome more light inside, making your home appear more spacious.
Increase kerb appeal with new windows
According to the HomeOwners Alliance, 71% of people believe that “Windows in good condition (no signs of rot or flaking paint)” is the best way to boost a home’s kerb appeal and make it more visually appealing.
Now is the time to inspect your windows and check if they create a positive impression of your home. If they do the opposite, you may want to invest in new windows before putting your home up for sale.
