North West London estate agents TK International are experts in selling and renting properties in Hampstead, and have put together some top tips for a speedy sale.

Price attractively

Getting the price right for your property is crucial to the speed of the sale. Before contacting an estate agent, have a good idea as to how much you feel your property is worth by researching on sites such as Zoopla and Rightmove, then decide how much you are willing to accept.

TK International will use current market conditions and recent sales of properties like yours to advise on a guide price to suit your timescale. There is, however, a careful balance between pricing cheaply for a quick sale and pricing too cheaply to arouse suspicion.

Flexibility with viewings

Be as flexible as possible with your viewings so you don’t turn any potential buyers away, and be ready for people to view your property within 24 hours of your home being advertised for sale. If you’re not living at the house or are out all day, leave a set of keys with your estate agent so they can gain access for viewings without the need for you to be present.

Sealed bids

If there is a lot of interest in your property, then a sealed bids tactic can help to guarantee a quick sale. You will need to ask for ‘best and final offers’ by a certain date. This can generate some really good bids in a set window of time. Make sure, however, that your estate agent qualifies every buyer behind the bids to ensure they are in a legitimate position to proceed.

Open house events

Inviting prospective buyers to view your home on one particular day is becoming extremely popular and can be a successful route to a quick sale. As there is potential for competition on the day between purchasers, the likelihood of a number of good offers is increased, especially if you set a deadline for bids to be received by.

Property presentation

Viewers will make up their mind about your property within a matter of seconds and the presentation will influence whether a potential buyer makes a quick offer. The right first impression is one that wows! Here are some essential tips to improve presentation:-

• Declutter – remove anything unnecessary or which is creating a mess
• Repaint – a new coat of paint will freshen any room
• Fix anything that needs repairing and make sure your home is spotlessly clean
• Tidy the garden and mow the lawn
• The kitchen is considered by many to be the most valuable room in a house. If your
• kitchen is not fairly new, consider painting or replacing cabinetry doors or upgrading work surfaces
• Make sure your property is as light and airy as possible. Ambient lighting creates an inviting glow and ensure blinds/curtains/shutters are open during viewings
• How a property smells is important so avoid cooking pungent food before a viewing.
• The scent of fresh flowers can make a lasting impression, as well as create an eye-catching display
• If it’s cold outside and you have an open fire or log burner, light it, bringing its cosy appeal to the full.

By following these very simple tips for selling a Hampstead property, you should sell your home in no time.
