The Right Price
Of course, everyone wants to sell their east dulwich property for the biggest price possible, but this is not always the best way to achieve a quick sale. A good east dulwich 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 east dulwich purchasers.

Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in east dulwich 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 east dulwich 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 Value
A east dulwich-based estate agent will know the sensible marketing value of a property such as yours, located in your area of east dulwich.

Quality Marketing
A good east dulwich 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 east dulwich property needs as much exposure as possible, to maximise interest from potential buyers. Normally an agent will advertise your property on property portals, such as Rightmove, and in your local or east dulwich 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.

Scrub Up
Don’t be scared to get out your favourite cleaning products and really get stuck into those tired areas of your property. The ’nearly new’ look of kitchen units, appliances and bathroom furniture will really go down well with east dulwich buyers.

Do Simple Jobs
Are you trying to sell property in east dulwich? If so, you may want to take a good, objective look around. How many small, simple jobs are there that you haven't bothered getting around to doing? The problem is that we become blind to the small flaws after a while (apart from the ones that annoy us), whereas an observant newcomer to your home will spot them straight away. We're talking about curling wall-paper, or borders just need sticking down; Marks on walls, that need wiping off; Dead flies or dust on a lamp-shade; Dirty windows; Old screw-holes in walls that need filling and touching up. Now is the time to put a day aside to do these little jobs, and help achieve the best price for you property.

Conveyancing
When you are buying or selling east dulwich property, then one expense that is difficult to avoid is the legal cost. It really isn't a good idea to cut out the solicitor, as conveyancing is a complex process, and there are many pitfalls. The good news is this: There is no good reason to use a local solicitor - and AgentQuote.co.uk can help to find you a quality national solicitor who will do the work for a much cheaper price.

Pet Problems
If you own pets, then consider re-housing them while your try to sell your home. At the very least, keep them out of sight during viewings, and make sure that you have removed as much trace of them as possible. Cat litter trays, bowls of pet food, pet hairs, stains on carpets and scratched up walls or furniture can be off-putting. There is also the issue of allergies to consider. Many people are allergic to pet hairs and dust. A home that sets off a reaction may put off otherwise keen east dulwich viewers. Consider calling in a local east dulwich cleaning specialist to revive carpets.
