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. We are already up to 4 months and that is before you have had an agent carry out a market appraisal and have marketing material prepared for you to approve. There is also Christmas just around the corner.

A wonderful Google review from a recent sale. This really highlights the importance of instructing an experienced estate agent that is with you from the start of the process, right up until completion

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.
