Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in bow street to help you market and sell or let your property.
Good Local Knowledge
An estate agent or letting agent in bow street is very likely to have good local knowledge, and thus be an effective marketer of your property.
Quality Marketing
A good bow street estate agent will be an expert at marketing your property. They will know how to advertise your property in all the right places. Ideally your bow street property needs as much exposure as possible, to maximise interest from potential buyers. Typically an agent will advertise your property on property portals, such as Rightmove, and in your local or bow street property post. Other forms of marketing include window cards, handouts, mail-shots and open-house days. Remember, the frequency and quality of the content of the advertising is just as important as where it appears.
In The Know
A good bow street estate agent will already have a shortlist of potential buyers (applicants) on their books, who may immediately want to view your property. This could result in a quick sale.
Well Connected
bow street estate agents have many local industry connections. They may be able to recommend a good local solicitor, mortgage broker, insurance broker or financial adviser in bow street.
Selling Tips
Cats And Dogs in your garden.
If you're selling property in bow street then you may want to check your garden for mess left behind by either your pets or neighbour's pets. 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.
Clean Out The Loft
Some buyers will ask to look in your loft. If it it is full of junk that looks like it may be left there then this can be off-putting. Also, a nice empty loft will look like it may have conversion potential.
Neutralise Nasty Odours
If you're trying to sell your bow street 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.
Be Energy Efficient
If you're selling your home then bow street buyers will be looking for energy efficient properties, as these will be cheaper to run, and easier to sell.
A good bow street estate agent will be able to advise you and point you in the right direction for making your home more energy efficient.
An energy assessor will come and assess your property for a current and potential Energy Efficiency Rating and a current and potential Environmental (CO2) Impact Rating. This will be included in your HIP pack, which must be completed before you market your property.
