Looking to sell your property? While selling your home may seem like a stressful experience, it doesn’t necessarily have to be.

In most cases, issues can be avoided by sellers if they take some proactive steps. Here we’ll offer some tips for anyone selling a property to help them secure their sale with as little hassle as possible.

Provide Documentations Promptly

If the buyer is requesting any documents, be sure to hand these over as soon as possible. Any delays can put buyers off, resulting in them potentially pulling out of the transaction.

Likewise, once it’s time to sign your contracts, do this as soon as possible. You wouldn’t want your property transaction to fall through at the final hurdle simply for not signing paperwork on time!

Be Flexible

Another way to put off buyers is by being inflexible with your completion dates. If there’s a chain, this could bring the whole transaction down, so try to be as flexible and as accommodating as you can.

Communicate With Estate Agent

As well as being flexible, you should also be as communicative as possible with your estate agent as they can help you by negotiating dates with everyone in the chain. 

Find A Good Estate Agent

Speaking of estate agents, finding the right one is crucial for ensuring a smooth property sale. Expertise, professionalism and open communication are all skills your estate agent will need if you’re to enjoy a stress-free transaction.

A knowledgeable estate agent will be equipped to assess the value of your property, effectively market it to potential buyers and negotiate on your behalf to help you achieve the best possible sale price. 

Additionally, a reputable estate agent can provide valuable guidance and support, as well as keep you informed throughout the sales process, all of which will help to minimise stress and maximise the likelihood of a successful transaction.

Hire Competent Solicitors

When it comes to handling the legal side of your sale, you’ll need to leave this to the experts. However, sadly not all legal representation is of the same standard, and hiring the wrong firm could see you facing some serious delays.

Be sure you’re hiring a company with the right credentials and experience to deal with property transactions. Moreover, always look at reviews to see what experiences other sellers have had in the past.

It’s vital that you look beyond the first option you come across and instead research several conveyancing solicitors. Once you’ve highlighted some potential options, check their credentials and read client reviews to get a gauge on the level of service you can expect to receive.

So those are some of the steps to take to minimise stress when selling your property. Stick to these rules and your sale should go as smoothly as possible without your buying pulling out at the last minute, which can be truly soul destroying!
