Our Essential Guide to Selling

Selling your home is an exciting but stressful time. At Samuel Estates, we understand the complexities of both the emotions and work involved in selling your home. We use our extensive knowledge of the London property market to keep you in control of the selling process and alleviate your stress as much as possible.

We created this handy guide to support you through selling your property, from the moment you decide to sell right up to completion.

Preparing to sell your home

Viewers typically make up their minds within 30 seconds of visiting your home, so making an excellent first impression is essential. In most cases, less is more. Spruce up any tired looking woodwork or paint and thoroughly tidy and clean up before the photographers and viewers arrive. It might be worth renting some temporary storage so you can put away any clutter and show off the true potential of your home.

Getting the price right

When selling your property, you need accurate advice to achieve the best possible price. Our unrivalled knowledge of the London property market means that you can rest assured that the asking price we provide is both credible and achievable. Just because an agent suggests a higher asking price, doesn’t mean they’re likely to get you the best sale. Many agents will pitch a higher valuation to entice sellers, but encourage buyers to offer significantly below the asking price.

Using property websites will be useful to gauge an estimation of what your home could be worth. Still, you will need the experience of a professional agent like us to get a more accurate and realistic assessment of its real value. Here at Samuel Estates, we are happy to provide you with a free and no-obligation property appraisal.

How do we assess the value of your home?

We will come to meet you at your property at a time that suits you. Appointments at your home will typically take up to an hour, which will include a full inspection of your house. During this time, we will discuss your own needs, the current market situation, and similar properties within the area. This will help us to advise you on its potential value, anything you can do that will enhance its current value, and what we recommend as a marketing strategy that will help sell your home effectively.

What should you do while your home is on the market?

While your home is on the market, you should do the following:

  • Supply anything we require as quickly as possible
  • Answer all of our questions honestly and carefully to provide your buyers with the right information
  • Continue to keep the property fully insured.
  • If you receive any notices that affect the property from any authority, please inform your Solicitors and us. You are required to disclose them to us even if contracts have been exchanged.

Completing these actions means we can ensure everything is done as quickly and smoothly as possible for your home sale.

What our customers think

  • George Calinescu

    We were so fortunate to have Samuel Estates Colliers Wood when we were searching for our next move. They went the extra length at every step to ensure we find the right place, making sure that it fits our needs. Great experience, thank you all and special thanks to Stefano for all the hard work.

  • Jadarose Brown-senior

    Stefano was amazing, he arranged a viewing very quickly, and explained the application process in detail, throughout the referencing stage he chased things with the company so he could try to get us moved in by our desired date. Any questions I had he was quick to answer.

    After moving in, all property queries have been dealt with through our property manager Steve within a matter of days.

    A very pleasant process throughout.
