How NOT to Sell Your Home: Five Mistakes That Deter Buyers

How NOT to Sell Your Home: Five Mistakes That Deter Buyers

To help you avoid the most common property selling mistakes, here’s a guide to how not to sell your home.

Do these five things, and you’ll face delays and disappointment.

Fail to get three valuations

If you only get one valuation, you risk setting your asking price too low (and missing out on thousands of pounds) or too high (and deterring genuine buyers).

Get greedy 

You over-inflate your asking price. Buyers aren’t fooled and stay away until you drop to a realistic price.

Don’t bother to declutter or depersonalise

You fail to have a clear-out and a tidy. The marketing photographs capture dirty laundry and mucky dishes – and buyers are put off.

Make no effort for viewings

Buyers notice loads of minor DIY problems when viewing your home and knock thousands of pounds off their offer.

Respond sluggishly 

You respond slowly to requests for information during the conveyancing process, irritating your buyer and jeopardising the chain.
