Is your property for sale in Hampstead? How to keep momentum going

Leading Hampstead estate agent TK International is keen to advise vendors how to achieve a quick sale of their Hampstead property during the summer months. Typically during this period the market quietens down and with the recent uncertainty of Brexit and a change of Prime Minister, some movers are pressing the ‘pause’ button.

Business, however, has been as usual in regards to Hampstead properties. Daniel Epstein, Director at TK International, comments: “While people were initially cautious pre-Brexit, our sales have remained consistent.”

Hampstead and its enclaves - Hampstead Garden Suburb, Hampstead Village, South Hampstead and West Hampstead - have fabulous amenities, outstanding schools, brilliant travel connections and some stunning properties. So while Hampstead houses and apartments tend to sell themselves, it’s worth bearing in mind the following when buying and selling in the summer:-

Hampstead properties already for sale: 

• Request an open house marketing day to increase interest.
• Make the most of longer lighter evenings by accommodating viewings later into the evening.
• Refresh the photograph selection used for brochures and online listings – ask for retakes of any photos if your garden looks better or you have made any aesthetic improvements inside.
• If you’re in a hurry to sell, think about revising the price with agent guidance – your agent can always negotiate a price reduction on an onwards purchase.

Hampstead properties under offer:

• Make sure you have supplied all the paperwork to your agent, solicitor and mortgage lender.
• Check if your solicitor is planning annual leave and ask for a secondary contact.
• Ensure your estate agent is in regular dialogue with everyone in the chain, including other estate agents, mortgage lenders and solicitors.
• Declutter and start packing so once you've exchanged, you're ready for a swift completion date.
