We are often asked the question – how people can add value to their home?
And off course there are plenty of ways. Some quite costly and time consuming and others which can add value quickly for a relatively modest outlay, which I am going to look at in this blog post. [···]
Making the decision to sell your home and move is a big one. In fact, recent research showed that most people start thinking about and researching the idea 6 – 9 months before actually doing anything.
Whatever the reason whether it’s downsizing, needing more space, wanting a better neighbourhood, employment or to be closer to excellent schools, it’s often life changing and a huge decision. [···]
If I had a pound for every time I am asked this question I would definitely be a millionaire! House sellers are very focused on timing it right to put their house on the market to maximise interest and therefore the price they might achieve for their home. [···]
When homeowners are preparing to put their properties on the market, one aspect is usually foremost in their minds – money!
Setting the asking price accurately can mean the difference between getting an offer quickly and having a house languish for months, attracting little interest. [···]
We live in a constantly changing digital world.
Our phones and computers can do amazing things, and many apps have made life a lot easier. The pace of change is quite phenomenal.
Just look at banking – it used to be a real chore to get something paid in or out, now it’s a matter of a couple of clicks. [···]
Buying or selling a property can sometimes be rather stressful. Sorry if I am stating the obvious!
It can even cause you sleepless nights, along with the current heatwave of course. [···]
With England now destined to win the 2018 World Cup in Russia – well ok, as the Baddiel and Skinner song suggests, for those of us old enough to remember it! we can still believe! I thought it would be good to write a topical property blog with a football connotation! And look at the synergy between England football hero and Captain, Harry Kane and Estate Agency, although the sentiment could apply to most businesses really. [···]
Once upon a time in Cheadle, a land not so far away from our office! a young family decided they wanted to sell up and move to a bigger castle that they spotted had just come onto the market.
They called in two different estate agents who arrived on majestic horses with golden flowing manes (the horses that is) ok this sounds grander than a VW golf, but I am sure you follow the analogy! [···]
We now live in a world where most of us are bombarded with never ending streams of information to process – well pre GDPR anyway!
And that information overload is leading to people making snap judgments quicker than ever.
[···]
I was recently chatting to a retired gentleman who popped into the office in Cheadle who was thinking of moving back to the area but had lived in the same house for more than 40 years! An estate agents nightmare! And was understandably nervous and unsure what to ask agents.
The advice I gave him is what we share with anyone looking to put their home on the market in the Cheadle area.
