In all likelihood you will achieve a faster sale if you use a good bix estate agent.

Missed Opportunities
You local bix Estate Agents will always be available, by telephone or email, to deal with enquiries about your property. If you try to DIY your house sale then you are likely to miss may opportunities because you are unlikely to be available to field enquiries.

Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in bix will offer to undertake accompanied viewings on your behalf. They will show off your property to viewers, drawing attention to all of the best features. Most viewers are more likely to tell an estate agent, than the owner, what they don’t like about a property. This means that if you use a bix estate agent, you are likely to get honest feedback on what aspects of your property need dressing up to achieve a quick sale, at the best price.

The Right Price
Of course, everyone wants to sell their bix property for the biggest price possible, but this is not always the best way to achieve a quick sale. A good bix estate agent will be able to guide you towards a price that strikes the right balance between being attractive to both you and any potential bix purchasers.

Be Energy Efficient

Spend Up To 1%
It is often advised that a seller should consider spending up to 1% of the sale value of the property on re-decoration, D.I.Y. and / or touching-up to achieve the best price. You should discuss this with a local bix specialist adviser or bix estate agent. A good bix estate agent may be able to point you in the right direction.

Neutralise Nasty Odours
If you're trying to sell your bix property, then perhaps it's time to ask a good friend the question "does my house smell". If you live with unpleasant odours, then you may no longer notice them. Get the blunt opinion of a friend. If there's a problem, don't worry... there are plenty of products on the market to remove nasty smells, rather than cover them up.

Cats And Dogs in your garden.

If your garden looks like it's being used as a toilet, then this can make a very bad impression. Clean up after your own pets, and consider installing anti dog / cat measures to scare away / deter neighbour's pets. Please ensure these devices are humane.
