Due to the Stamp Duty holiday, the UK is currently experiencing a property boom – people who may have been thinking of moving a year or so down the line have decided to take advantage of the situation and move now. Because of this the property market is moving really fast. If you have decided that now is the time you will sell your house and move, here are some of the things to consider when selling your house…
Consider why you are selling – Do you need more space? If you love the area that you live in, but need more room, weigh up the cost of an extension vs moving. There are creative ways that you can extend your house, where you can gain extra space and stay in your current home.
If you are fed up with your home and fancy a change of scenery, could it benefit from being spruced up a bit? New windows from a company such as this double glazed windows Swindon based company may just give you the fresh new feeling without the expense and hassle of moving.
If you are sure that you want to move, you will need to think about where you will move to. There are benefits to selling your house and renting for a bit, as you will not be under the pressures of time that being in a chain can bring.
Finally, you need to find an estate agent. Local estate agents have the benefit of knowing your area, but some people choose to use an online estate agent where they have to do a lot of the work themselves, but it costs less.
