Get the right agent: In a tight market, marketing your flat
with the best agent is crucial.
Choose one with a track record of sales, ignore those who compete
to outvalue your flat.
Beyond the HIP: Dazzle purchasers by having to hand a
well-organised folder with all the relevant information concerning your
flat including service charges, insurance, reserve funds, warranties,
proof of works, and contractor agreements.
Tidy-up: Remove all
those personal possessions which have gathered over time, and look like
clutter to a potential buyer when viewing.
Prepare: Make sure your
flat is clean and homely. Repaint
in neutral colours, if necessary and accessorise with candles and
plants. Home baked bread and
freshly brewed coffee provide a welcoming aroma to prospective purchasers.
Decision-making: Know your bottom line, when to move
quickly and when you are prepared to back out of a sale. Have alternative accommodation or
storage lined up and don’t hold out unnecessarily for more money if it
will cost you the sale.
