Selling Tips
Be Energy Efficient
If you're selling your home then eckington buyers will be looking for energy efficient properties, as these will be cheaper to run, and easier to sell.
A good eckington 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.
De-Clutter
It’s your home in eckington, you’ve lived there for years, it feels like part of you, and you love it. But if you’re selling, then it’s time to move out mentally! Try to pack away as much personal clutter as you can. Leave a few, favourite items out so that the house doesn’t feel like a eckington hotel, but otherwise present your viewers with a blank canvas, somewhere that they can imagine making their own.
Modernise dated fittings.
It's arguable that some folk love "dated". The majority don't. If your house is looking more 80s than "now" you may want to consider zapping the worst offenders. Nasty wallpaper can be covered with a lick of paint, cupboard doors and tiles can also be painted over, and door handles are easily replaced. eckington property hunters will mainly prefer a "blank canvas" to a scheme that sticks out as being dated.
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 eckington specialist adviser or eckington estate agent. A good eckington estate agent may be able to point you in the right direction.
