If your dreams of buying a new home rely on the sale of your existing property, then there’s one fundamental question you need to answer.
Are you going to look for a new home first and then list your property – or do things the other way around?
While both scenarios can work out in the end, we think one option is far more favourable – and that’s getting your current property on the market first.
Here are four reasons why.
If you’re fortunate enough to be in a financial position where you can rent out your home instead of selling it, should you take the leap?
After all, if you don’t need to sell to fund your next move, renting your property is an option worth exploring.
Here, we explore the dilemma of renting out a property instead of selling.
Want to fast-track your property sale by getting your marketing just right?
Then spend some time thinking about the type of buyer most likely to fall in love with your home, and ensure you target them.
Once you’ve identified the type (or types) of buyers looking for a property like yours, you can tailor your presentation and marketing accordingly.
If you’re a first-time landlord about to rent out a property, or an established landlord looking to purchase a new investment, one of the main questions you’ll have is how much rent you can charge per month.
Of course, you can (and should) take the advice of your agent, but it’s also worth understanding exactly what factors impact the amount of rent you can sensibly charge.
In this quick read, we explore the factors you need to consider before pricing your rental property.
When it comes to preparing for a property sale, most sellers focus on the early stage of the process: sprucing up their home and choosing an agent to manage the marketing.
But there’s another element to nailing a successful property deal that gets less attention but is just as critical: negotiating the sale.
How do you know when to accept an offer and when to hold out for more? And what should your strategy be if you have more than one offer on the table?
With such large sums of money at stake, making decisions in the heat of the moment can be stressful, so it’s helpful to work with an experienced estate agent.
A top agent will have negotiated countless deals throughout their career and be able to advise you on the best steps to take.
Here’s an explainer of what it takes to negotiate a good deal to help you choose the right agent to manage your sale.
