SELLING A HOME
Tips for a quicker sale

Finding the time and energy to sell your home can be a struggle when you live a busy lifestyle, which is why Move Revolution are here to help.

We work hard to provide excellent customer service and make the process of selling your home as stress-free as possible. This way, you can spend less time worrying about selling and focus more time on getting excited about the things that come with it, like buying a new property.

From our free professional photography, to our flexible working hours, Move Revolution go above and beyond to ensure you live happy ever after. Call us now to find out more.

Selling your house can be daunting, and confusing, particularly if this is your first time doing so.

Fortunately, we’re here to help. Below, we’ve summarised the key steps to selling your property.

Steps to Selling your Home

Think like a buyer

Take a step back from your property and imagine you’ve never viewed it before. Be critical; is the garden tidy? Could the front door benefit from a lick of paint? Go inside and repeat the process.

Invite Move Revolution to critique

Once you’ve created your own to-do list, have one of our estate agent’s advise on what they think should be done before putting your house up for sale. We will spot minor details that could make a big difference to the price.

Get a valuation

When our estate agent gives you a price, ask what influenced the figure.

Agree viewing times with us

Work with your Move Revolution agent to agree when and how viewings should take place. Often, buyers prefer the agent to conduct the viewings, which takes some of the pressure away from you too. When it comes to times, try not to be too restrictive. We’re available to conduct evening and weekend viewings so, where possible, make the most of this to sell your home quickly.

Get a quote from one of our recommended solicitors

This will give you an idea of how much to budget for. Most sellers won’t require a solicitor until a buyer is found, but doing this now will mean less panic when you start to get offers and it gives the solicitor more time to apply for your title deeds for example.

Negotiate offers

When the offers come in, your Move Revolution estate agent will work hard to negotiate the best buyer for you. For some, this means the highest price, for others, it could be the person that can move in the soonest.

Talk to your solicitor

Once a sale has been agreed, let your solicitor know that Move Revolution will be in touch. You solicitor should then send you the forms to complete; it’s important you read and return these as soon as possible so paperwork can be issued to the buyer’s solicitor.

Talk to removal companies

Now is a good time to get a quote on removal. You should have a rough idea of the date but, as a tip, Friday’s tend to be the busiest so try to avoid this if possible.

Monitor the sale

If you’re selling with us, our Sales Progressors will be in touch at this stage to discuss timescales and ensure the sale runs smoothly through to completion.

Move out

On the day you move, your solicitor will receive the balance of the completion money and your estate agent will hand the keys to your buyers.

Tips for Selling your House

Spruce up the front of the property

Make the house look as inviting as possible. Tidy up any shrubbery, sweep the driveway and paint the front door and garage.

Declutter the rooms

Sort through your belongings and throw away anything you don’t need. Not only will this make your move even easier, it’ll allow potential buyers to appreciate the size of any storage space.

Give the house a good clean

It might sound obvious, but sometimes a good scrub of the carpets can deter a potential buyer from suggesting they need replacing. Gleaming windows and a tidy bathroom also make a huge difference.

Don’t forget the garden

When you’re tidying, don’t forget to give the garden some TLC. Even cosier gardens can look appealing with a few pots and plants. If your garden is larger, utilise your furniture to showcase its potential for entertaining.

Our model differs from other estate agents, which allows us to pass any savings we make on to you.

As opposed to having high street stores – and the overheads that come with it – we have offices and professional sales negotiators. This means less cost to us, which equates to lower fees for you.

What’s more, our fees include professional photography, floor plans and listings on various property sites, including Rightmove, Zoopla and Primelocation.

Move Revolution offers a highly competitive one off fee and won’t charge you anything upfront. You will, however, need an Energy Performance Certificate if the property doesn’t already have one, which will cost around £60.

At Move Revolution, we understand the importance of making your property stand out from the crowd.

Our professional team will offer you advice on staging your home to maximise its selling potential. Then our professional photographer will take stunning photos of your home to be used in any online advertising of the property.

We’ll also prepare floorplans and quality written descriptions to accompany the listing and give your home the perfect first impression.

Our staff are based locally in Sussex and Surrey

Our staff members live and work in your home town. Their knowledge stretches beyond average house prices, covering things to do in the area, the best schools and transport links.

The greater understanding of an area your estate agent has, the more accurate their valuation of your house will be. If a property is priced accurately, it’ll sell quickly.

In addition, as a seller, you’ll want an estate agent who can not only sell your home, but confidently answer any questions a potential buyer has about the local area.

We’ll Sell your House Fast

We invest in a dedicated sales progression department which is designed to sell your property sooner.

Our team will chase the solicitors and estate agents involved in your sale to ensure it goes through as quickly as possible.

We Work Flexible Hours

As we’re open 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, we can provide you with more up-to-date feedback on the progress of your sale than the average estate agent. In fact, our longer opening hours mean we’re open around an extra 156 days a year.
