Do you want to sell your family home by May Half Term 2023?

Many families looking to move are keen to do so during the half term, so when do you need to market your home to make that happen?

Shepperton and the surrounding towns have fantastic schools and excellent employment opportunities, that's why family homes are always so popular.

School holidays are quite often thought to be a great time for families to move. If you are considering selling a 'family' home, timing is everything.

The average sale, once an offer is accepted and contracts issued to a buyers solicitor is 12 weeks. To secure a buyer from when your home goes on the market can take up to 4 weeks.

If you have been thinking about moving by Half Term 2023, we would recommend get the ball rolling now. First step is to have a market appraisal of your home. There are 3 options for this:
