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.

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.

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.

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.
