5 Top Tips To Get The Price Right First Time.

Overpriced properties consistently sell for less than well-priced ones. Five practical checks before you accept any valuation — and the warning signs of an inflated listing.

The moment your property goes on the market you have to get the price right. These top tips help you make sure you get it right! 1. Do your own research! Don’t just rely on what your agent says. Look at recent sales in your area and compare with others currently on the market by researching on Zoopla.co.uk & Rightmove.co.uk 2. Be realistic about your price! It’s too easy to see the pound signs and want to get the most for your property. You must be realistic or you put buyers off your property for good. 3. Get at least 3 valuations from agents and make sure you have a mix of independent and corporate companies. Many agents are set targets on instructions and may feel pressure to tell you what you want to hear. 4. Get your agent to show their valuation report yo you detailing how they came to the price and the comparables. Quiz the agent to find out how they calculated their price. 5. Make sure your property’s presentation matches the price. If you are going for the top end of your price bracket make sure the house represents the value you are offering. Tidy the garden, trim the hedges, get the carpets cleaned, redecorate where necessary and clear out the clutter. Show your property at its best and you are sure to get the best price possible.
