Good Advice
A telford estate agent will be able to answer any queries you may have about the buying or selling process.

Quality Marketing
A good telford 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 telford 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 telford 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.

Be Realistic About The Market
Like the rest of the UK, the property market in telford is on its knees. You need to be realistic about the value of your telford property if you want a quick sale. This may be difficult, especially if you stretched yourself on your mortgage when your purchased. Consider discussing your situation with your IFA, and your estate agent to agree a realistic market value for your property. Jun 09.

Renew Scruffy Flooring
Linoleum flooring in bathrooms and kitchens can often look very bedraggled after years of use. It is inexpensive to replace. Consider renewing it if it looks worse for wear.

Be Energy Efficient
If you're selling your home then telford buyers will be looking for energy efficient properties, as these will be cheaper to run, and easier to sell.

A good telford 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.

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. telford property hunters will mainly prefer a "blank canvas" to a scheme that sticks out as being dated.
