Selling Your Home: A Guide for Summer 2023

As an experienced estate agent in Shepperton, we know that selling your home can be a daunting experience, especially if you're looking to sell by summer 2023. However, with the right preparation, you can ensure that your home is sold in a timely manner and at the right price.


Here's what you need to do if you're looking to sell your home by summer 2023:

  1. Set a timeline - The first step to selling your home is to set a timeline. Typically, it takes between 4-6 months to get your home ready for sale, market it, receive offers, and exchange contracts to completion. If you're looking to sell by summer 2023, it's important to start the process as soon as possible to ensure that you have enough time to complete all of the necessary steps.
  2. Prepare your home for sale - Before you put your home on the market, it's essential to make sure it's in the best possible condition. This may involve cleaning and decluttering, making repairs, and even renovating to improve its appearance.
  3. Market your home - Once your home is ready for sale, it's time to market it. This may involve professionally photographing it, creating a detailed property listing, and arranging viewings. It's important to make sure that your home is presented in the best possible light, both online and in person, to attract potential buyers.
  4. Receive offers and exchange contracts - After marketing your home, we will start to receive offers from potential buyers. It's important to consider all of the offers carefully, as they will vary in terms of price and terms, something we will negotiate on your behalf. Once you've agreed on a sale, it's then progressing to the exchange of contracts, a legally binding agreement to sell your home.
  5. Why it's important to list now - Selling your home by summer 2023 is important because the market is expected to be very competitive during this period. By listing your home now, you'll have a head start over other sellers and you'll be able to take advantage of this demand.

Finally, if you're looking to move but haven't yet registered, you can do so with Heads Up Property Alerts. This service allows you to add the streets and areas you want to live in and be notified before they appear on Rightmove. By using this service, you can ensure that you're the first to know about new listings in your desired area, giving you a head start over other buyers.

May is a key month for sellers, but more homes are competing for attention. If you are thinking of moving this spring, here is how the current market is shaping buyer behaviour and what helps a home stand out.
