Don't Rush the Listing
- Before you put your flat on the market, make sure you're ready. Most interest comes within the first two weeks, so have high-quality photos, a floor plan, and a well-written description prepared in advance.
Make a Great First Impression
- Ensure that the exterior of your building and any common areas look well-maintained. A fresh coat of paint or minor repairs can create a lasting positive first impression.
Use a Professional Photographer
High-quality, professional photos can help your property stand out online and in listings, increasing its chances of being noticed.
Declutter
Clean up your flat and remove personal items to make it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living there.
Plan Your Price Carefully
- Research comparable properties in your area and price your flat competitively. Be prepared to negotiate and adjust the price if necessary to attract buyers.
Listen to Estate Agent Advice
Your estate agent may offer advice you don't want to hear, but they have valuable experience. Take their suggestions seriously to increase your chances of a successful sale.
