Now is the time to prepare your property for sale

With the School Holidays already upon us the local property market is likely to continue in being very active as we move through the six week break with demand still outstripping supply.

Historically viewing levels of properties being marketed during the school holidays can drop significantly during the summer break.

However, a lesser known fact is that the period immediately following this can be an exceptional time to sell your property. In previous years we have seen an increase in demand for homes throughout the Church & Hawes network during this period.

Should you choose to list your property in the coming weeks you are likely to achieve a move in the latter part of this year or early 2023 which for many home movers is a very exciting prospect the phrase "New Year, New Home" certainly has a ring to it!

What next steps should you be taking if you are looking to sell or let your home?

If you are lucky enough to have additional time off, it could be a great time to improve your home or dress your property ready for sale. By preparing your home now you could save time later. Whether you are thinking of selling your property immediately, late Summer or Autumn we are able to visit you and prepare your property marketing by taking photographs, creating floor plans and Virtual Viewings.

This could put you ahead of the competition!
