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

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.

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:

  1. 30 sec Online Valuation - This will give a broad range of what your property could be worth using an algorithm that looks at sold house price data.
  2. Online Valuation Plus - Complete one simple form, upload some photos and our Sales Director, David Long will prepare a market appraisal report
  3. Face to face Valuation - Our Sales Director, David, will visit your home to take a detailed look at your home, find out your plans and prepare a marketing report and strategy so you can achieve your goals.

With only a few weeks to go before the end of the year, as a Shepperton estate and letting agent, I wanted to share what has happened in both the UK and Shepperton property markets in 2025, analysing the trends for Shepperton homeowners, home buyers and landlords alike… and then compare them to previous years.
