It’s important to choose the right estate agent to sell your property through, and finding one that can organise an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and a comprehensive survey, as well as carrying out your property marketing which must include professional photography, professional floor plans and a professionally produced property brochure, all this can save you time and money and help you achieve the best price, reports The Echo.
Firstly, it is important not to feel obliged to buy your new home through the agent you chose to sell your old home with, or to simply go with the agent offering the highest valuation, according to the report.
Instead, look for an agent who can add value by offering the best commission rate, possibly a free EPC and carrying out your professional property marketing, as this can save you real time and money.
Furthermore, the report says you should always read the small print in the contract to check you’re not tied in for long periods of time before selling a home.
