Preparing your home for viewings

In preparation for any viewings, you need to take note of the key features of your home and think about how these could be used to help promote your property. Highlighting these benefits through the way you present your home will help persuade any potential buyers looking for a property just like yours.

Any home maintenance issues should be taken care of. It might be worth hiring a professional for any tricky jobs, especially if they add value to your property. The first impression is important for more buyers and making your house presentable from the outside will make a great deal of difference.

You need to be flexible when it comes to your viewings. If you attend a viewing then we advise that you watch for buying signals and listen closely. Be helpful and positive with answering any questions. You can also make changes for your home on future viewings based on the feedback from any buyers who come to see your property.


Pricing your property correctly

With property prices changing all the time, your property needs to receive a home valuation that is accurate to the current market. Getting a valuation from more than one credited agency will also mean that you can price your home correctly.

An overvalued home will mean that your property will potentially stay on the market for a long period of time with little interest. We don’t want this to happen. Our network of Dorset estate agents are qualified and are motivated to getting the price for your home.


Work closely with your chosen agent

We display a variety of Dorset estate agents, who are part of our network based on their performance within the area and their levels of customer service. You can feel safe and secure in the knowledge that your home sale is taken care of.

Once you are matched with your chosen estate agent, we suggest communicating with them on a regular basis. It is important for them to understand the way you want to advertise your home and at what price. This also ensures that the entire process runs as smoothly as possible and that any issues or questions can be raised and quickly dealt with.

Look at getting the services of top specialists to help you manage the financial and legal side of your move. These aspects can be challenging for most people and it is important that these are well-organised so that your transaction can go ahead as planned.
