Selling your home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make — and it often comes with a lot of questions. To help you feel informed and confident every step of the way, I’ve answered some of the most common queries from homeowners planning to sell their property.
How much is my property worth right now?
Every property is different, which is why I offer a free, no-obligation valuation. I’ll review recent comparable sales, current market trends, and your home’s features to arrive at an accurate, realistic asking price.
What costs will I incur when selling my home?
Typical costs include: agent’s commission, solicitor/conveyancing fees, BER certificate cost, utility disconnections/adjustments, and any repairs or staging. I’ll walk you through a full breakdown so there are no surprises.
Do I need a BER (Energy Rating) certificate before selling?
Yes — by law, you must provide a valid BER certificate when marketing your property. If your current BER is expired or missing, we can help you organise a new one.
How should I prepare my property for viewings?
A few key steps: declutter, deep clean, freshen paint where needed, enhance lighting, tidy your garden, and neutral styling. Small improvements can significantly raise perceived value. I’ll also provide a tailored pre-viewing checklist to help you.
How will you market my property?
I use a multi-channel marketing strategy including high-quality photography, drone / aerial images, immersive walkthroughs, targeted social media, email campaigns, and exposure across major property portals. My goal is to reach qualified buyers quickly and generate strong offers.
How long will it take to sell?
While market conditions vary, desirable properties in attractive areas often sell within weeks, not months. With proper pricing, staging, and marketing, you’re more likely to attract multiple offers quickly.
What legal steps are involved in the sale?
Once your offer is accepted, you’ll need to instruct a solicitor who will: prepare the contract, review title/deeds, manage searches, liaise with the buyer’s solicitor, and oversee the exchange and closing. It’s best to engage your solicitor early.
Can I sell my home even if I haven’t found my next place yet?
Yes — many sellers sell first and move later. We can structure agreements such as rent-back arrangements or align closing dates so you have flexibility. Let’s tailor a solution based on your timing and goals.
