When to list my house for a move in 2023?

When to list my house for a move in 2023?

This is the question we are asked most this time of year.



We realise vendors want to start putting up the Christmas decorations and are distracted by other engagements over the festive period.  

However we know the busiest time for people to begin their search is over the Christmas break. More specifically Boxing day which according to both Rightmove and our own website stats from 2022 was the highest day for visitors! The reason? People make decisions while they are off work, they visit family, they realise their house is too big/too small, they decide to be nearer family, want to travel more, the list is endless but ultimately people make that decision and start their journey. 

With this in mind we already have several vendors 'market ready' to go live boxing day - the photo's are all done (minus Christmas decorations!), descriptions written and they are sat back ready to go live Boxing Day looking to take advantage of all those buyers looking and hoping to be in a position early to start viewing new houses entering the market themselves. 

We have a team of valuers across our branch network ready to help get you Boxing Day ready! Contact our teams on the link below to arrange a free, no obligation market appraisal or if we have already been out contact our office to book in the photographs!

The rental market is still growing, but the way properties are managed has changed. August is a useful time for landlords to review tenancies, rent processes and record-keeping.

Buyers have plenty to compare this autumn, which makes the way a home enters the market increasingly important. A strong first impression, realistic price and thoughtful presentation can all help attract the right attention.

If moving is starting to feel more realistic, September is a useful time to prepare. Understanding your budget, priorities and local property search now could make things much easier when the right home appears.

A fresh coat of paint can help, but missing paperwork can delay a sale for months. Use August to prepare the information buyers and solicitors will need before an offer is agreed.
