May can be a great time to get your property on the market. With this being said, the market has begun to cool off, with sales prices in Leinster dropping 0.5% in the first quarter of 2023, as per the Daft Sales Price Report. You can take steps to still get the best price for your property when launching it on the market.
Choose a solicitor and get a BER certificate for the property.
When you decide you would like to sell, you should immediately contact your solicitor or begin looking for one to use. There is a lot of paperwork that must be done throughout the sales process, so the earlier this is started, the better chance you have of a smooth sale. Another point to note is that you are legally required to have a BER certificate for a property that is going for sale, so it is best to get this done as soon as possible. We have BER accessors who we use regularly and would be more than happy to arrange for them to call out.
Choose an agent with local expertise.
It is very important to choose an agent who really knows the area and market. They will be able to give you an accurate valuation of the property, which is crucial as if the price is set too high, you can drive potential buyers away, but if you set it too low, you could be left with a quick sale that didn’t achieve the best price possible. At Kearney & Co., we have a very experienced team who all have extensive knowledge of the local area.
Preparing the property for the market
We have a piece regarding our tips for getting your property ready for the market that can be found here: Tips to Sell Your Home | Kearney Properties (kearneyproperty.ie).
We will call out to the property before it is marketed and suggest any ideas we believe might improve the home for any potential purchaser.
Advertising the property
When advertising your property, it is really important that the photos and description of the home catch the attention of those looking to buy in Wexford. It is important to use the great weather to your advantage and make the property look as bright and welcoming to potential purchasers. Once we have photographed of the property and got the advertisement ready, we will show you a draft to ensure you are happy with it, and once you are, we will launch it on Daft.ie, Myhome.ie and Kearneyproperty.ie.
