Making a property decision<br />
this year? Here is a ‘selling your<br />
home’ checklist<br />
Feature Properties<br />
Selling a home can be a very<br />
involved process. We grow<br />
attached to our homes and<br />
it can be hard to move on<br />
from them, especially if we<br />
have been in tenure for a long<br />
time. We sell for any number<br />
of reasons but no matter the<br />
reason, the same things need<br />
to be considered before you<br />
start the process.<br />

• Preparing your home:<br />
You will need to get the<br />
property looking as attractive<br />
as possible to prospective<br />
buyers. For some, this will mean<br />
finally finishing that half started DIY<br />
project, working on outstanding<br />
repairs and maintenance, decluttering<br />
and cleaning. Speak to a property<br />
expert if you are considering any<br />
expensive alterations to make sure<br />
it’s worth the cost.<br />
• Repair History:<br />
If your property has had insurance or<br />
EQC repairs then this documentation,<br />
including evidence of completion of<br />
works, needs to be compiled for the<br />
sale. If you can’t find this information<br />
then you can call EQC (0800 326 243)<br />
and ask for them to send you the file<br />
for your property. Note this can take<br />
up to 20 working days to arrive so it<br />
can be a good idea to order this well<br />
ahead of time.<br />
• Find a salesperson (agent):<br />
Contact a few experienced local real<br />
estate salespeople (agents) and set<br />
up interviews. Potential salespeople<br />
will evaluate your property and give<br />
you a comparative market analysis.<br />
Once you find your salesperson,<br />
you will sign a contract stating any<br />
commissions due, length of the<br />
agreement, marketing costs and the<br />
estimated sale cost.<br />
• Making important decisions<br />
around the sale:<br />
Next, work with your salesperson to<br />
decide how you want to sell (auction,<br />
deadline sale, price etc.), the digital<br />
and/or print marketing that you will<br />
use to advertise the property, open<br />
home times and what price guide the<br />
agent will use when people enquire<br />
about your property.<br />
• Contracts:<br />
Your salesperson will draw up<br />
the contract of sale which should<br />
include all details of the owners,<br />
title, conditions of the sale, what is<br />
included in the chattels (for example,<br />
oven) as well as settlement date, legal<br />
description and any tenancy details if<br />
relevant.<br />
• Going to market:<br />
The length of time your home will<br />
be on the market depends on how<br />
you choose to sell. For an auction it’s<br />
usually a four week campaign with an<br />
unconditional sale under the hammer,<br />
whereas a deadline sale can be a<br />
two to three week campaign with a<br />
further period of due diligence once it<br />
is under offer.<br />
• The final steps:<br />
Your salesperson will be responsible<br />
for negotiating with potential buyers<br />
to get the best price for you. Once it<br />
has been sold, the buyer usually pays<br />
a deposit at this point. The last step<br />
is settlement day. This is when you<br />
give the keys over to the new owners<br />
and vacate the property in exchange<br />
for the full agreed upon amount.<br />
Congratulations on your sale!<br />
